An explanation of the "Fred-up" copyright. I am in the process of compiling a recipe book and my eBay ID (or one of them) is Fred-up. As this is being compiled for the members of the FH&G discussion board it seemed a good idea to use my ID for the Book.

All the recipes are mine and have all been tried by me or my family which is also where I got a lot of them from.

I dont have a name for this side salad. I made it for a theatre companies BBQ and it seemed to go down well.

Salad

2 rashers bacon
2 eggs
1/2 head lettuce, shredded
1 carrot, grated
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 red pepper, sliced
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced into rings (optional)
1 tbsp corn or salad oil
1 to 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Place bacon in a large frying pan. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, shell and chop.
Place lettuce in a salad bowl along with the carrot and tomato. Sprinkle with bacon and eggs and toss.

Mix oil, vinegar and salt and pepper and drizzle over the salad.

Davred, would you (or can I ) like to change the thread title to Fred-up's (or Davred's) side dishes and sauces...

The diet coleslaw looks an interesting one, I think I'll try that tonight.

By all means do so if you wish. I'll see if it will change for me.

The diet cole slaw is tasty. You can use diet mayo if you want but I find that stuff tastless.
