RUSSIAN POTATO SALAD (SALAT OLIVIER)
This very flexible salad is great with meats, on picnics, with all sorts of things. It is fine in the fridge for a few days. Vary the ingredients and seasonings to taste (and convenience). The finer the chopping, the more "gourmet" it is to Russians. The technique here is easy; it just takes a lot of chopping, so give yourself enough time.

SALAT TANGIERS (MOROCCAN RECIPE FOR ZWT-9)
I am not sure why, but I had never used much couscous in my cooking until I played ZWT & No Africa was 1 of the Tour destinations. I fell deeply in "serious like" w/it & use it a lot in my cooking now. I am also a big fan of recipes that combine pasta plus veggie elements to work well as a single side-dish w/most meat choices. All that said, I found this recipe at a cooking-by-country website, captured it for myself & decided to share it w/you. Times were vague -- So I opted to allow 5 min for ingredient prep, 20 min cook time & not include the 1 hr chill time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the couscous & salt in lrg bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover it by ¼-inch. Cover tightly w/cling-film & allow to stand for 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the carrots, bell pepper & beans in a saucepan w/enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil & cook for 8-10 min until just tender.
- Meanwhile, mix together all dressing ingredients in a sml bowl.
- Drain the cooked vegetables well & add to the cooked couscous, mixing well w/a fork.
- Add onions, raisins & almonds. Then pour in the dressing & toss well. Chill for at least 1 hr before serving.
- NOTE: I can look into my creative cooking future & foresee that I may eventually play w/the flavor profile of this recipe. Using the salad dressing as the flavor mechanism would allow for different fruit flavors & even a sweet version that adds sugar or honey to the mix. Feel free to use your own imagination.

SALAT KATZUTZ - "CHOPPED SALAD" (ISRAELI SALAD)
my favorite salad, the easiest and simplest thing you've ever had. Israelis put it in any type of pita, and eat it at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is the best. Very healthy, simple, and easy. The quality of the vegetables really make the salad, so get the firmest and ripest tomatoes, cucumber, etc. That's why this is best IN ISRAEL :)

Steps:
- chop up the cucumber and tomato FINELY. It is chopped salad, because it is supposed to be chopped up! i'd say peel the cucumber, but it's not a must. The firmer, tastier the tomato, the better! If using red pepper, chop it up to about the same small size.
- Chop up the red onion very small, maybe even slightly finer than the other vegetables.
- Cut up/dice the parsely to taste - i'd probably use about 4 sprigs of parsely (any type works - italian, curly, etc.).
- the key is the dressing - very simple - simply make a 50/50 olive oil and lemon juice mix, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix it all together in a bowl and serve/eat.

HERRING SALAT (OSTFRIESEN VERSION)
My mom made this salad every year for New Year's Eve. It's of north German origin. Our German and Scandinavian friends all loved it. Do not substitute ham for the left-over meat, it's too salty or something! My family doesn't like herring, so I use less than what is listed - just enough so I can still call it Herring Salat! Other ingredient amounts can be adjusted to taste. It should be a pretty pink color when done. (My friends thought it was called Herrings-a-lot, because of the way it's pronounced in German!)

Tips:
- Select fresh ingredients: The quality of your salad greatly depends on the freshness of the ingredients. Choose crisp vegetables, firm fruits, and flavorful herbs.
- Use a variety of textures and colors: Incorporate a mix of crunchy, soft, and chewy ingredients to create an interesting textural experience. Similarly, use a variety of colors to make your salad visually appealing.
- Don't skimp on the dressing: A well-made dressing can elevate your salad from ordinary to extraordinary. Experiment with different types of dressings, such as vinaigrettes, creamy dressings, or nut-based dressings, to find the one that best complements your salad ingredients.
- Keep it simple: Sometimes, the simplest salads are the best. Don't overload your salad with too many ingredients or flavors. Let the natural flavors of the ingredients shine through.
- Make it a meal: Salads can be more than just a side dish. Add protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and whole grains, such as quinoa or farro, to make a complete and satisfying meal.
