Yesterday we celebrated Lag B'Omer with a BBQ and celebration at Chabad House. My brother Shmulie "drove" the grill and turned out delicious burgers and hot dogs. The tables were filled with buns, corn on the cob, cole slaw, a garden salad, potato salad and watermelon - and of course everything needed to make perfect sandwiches:) There were cupcakes for dessert, which the children got to decorate with icing, jelly beans and sprinkles. Cool refreshing drinks completed the menu.
Smiling faces were seen everywhere as the kids happily played on the playground, blew bubbles, used sidewalk chalk and played games with a parachute and hula hoops. The kids also LOVED having their faces painted by an excellent artist and everyone had a blast getting their cotton candy made by Rabbi Levi.
With lively Jewish music in the air, friends and family all around and delicious food to eat, it was a wonderful event that more than 70 people enjoyed.
Throughout the evening I kept hearing that the potato salad was really good - and so today I will share my recipe for potato salad.
(PS...missed out on the fun yesterday? Not to worry...more fun is just down the road with the annual Shavuot Ice Cream party on June 8 at 5:30 PM)
Rashi's Potato Salad
Red potatoes, (I do around one per person)
Mayonnaise
Bread and butter pickles
Scallions
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Dill (the spice)
Scrub potatoes (do not peel) and boil with some salt in the pot. When the water comes to a boil, lower it and allow to cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. While potatoes are still warm, add sliced scallions, diced pickles and the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garlic and dill. Serve and enjoy!
(sorry there are no numbers...but I make it in different amounts each time and don't really have any real numbers to share)
