trying to make a romantic gift basket for our weekend getaway. So far I have Champange, maybe some strawberrys , ..any other ideas will be helpful
--------------------
How romantic... maybe a crusty french bread and cheese, sipping on your champagne w/strawberries. Fried chicken or cold rotisserie chicken sandwiches. This is a great salad... 3/4 lb. red potatoes (the smallest you can find) 1/2 lb. thin, french green beans 1/4 lb. English cucumber, peeled and sliced 1/4 C. fresh dill, chopped 1/4 C. minced red onion 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. teaspoon sugar 1 tsp. Dijon mustard Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Prepare washed, cleaned potatoes by cutting the larger ones (over 1 1/2" or so in diameter -- smaller ones can stay whole) in half, then salting all potatoes lightly. Steam for about 15 minutes, until tender. Cool. Trim the French green beans, then steam for about 6 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, green beans, cucumber, dill, and onion. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, sugar, mustard, and pepper to taste. Pour over potato mixture and stir gently to mix. Let flavors combine for about an hour in the refrigerator. Whatever you decide have a great time!
