I plant Rhue next to my basil in the garden. It keeps all the bugs off the basil plant! It is wonderful!!

Hello Kim,
I love your website. I found you on SimplyRecipes.com. Elise had mentioned one of your dishes and so I clicked over. I love your simple and easy to make recipes for small families (we are a family of 3 as well). I made your Lemon Garlic Drumsticks and the Lentil Salad last night. Everything was so easy to make and super delicious. Thanks! And I’ve even checked out the book Eat Fat Lose Fat. I look forward to making changes in this new year. Best, Judy

This looks great! My mother is always asking me to bring a pasta salad to family picnics and my family doesn’t eat that, so this would be a great alternative! (Plus my stepfather is diabetic and shouldn’t be having pasta salad ANYWAY).

I’ve heard that cayenne powder works for bugs, but I’ve not tried it.

Wow. I made this and 2 of my sons and I were taste testing. At ages 3 and 6 they were even excited about this for dinner tonight. I did a few changes-
added 3 tomatoes
used a whole cucumber
1 small onion
aged balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider
regular mustard instead of dry mustard

DELICIOUS.

Kimi- You are my cooking hero. I couldn’t decide what to make for dinner, but I know this will be yummy served on a bed of salad greens from the garden. Thank you for sharing your creativity. You have a wonderful blog. Every recipe I have tried so far has been a winner.

I used this recipe more as an inspiration based on what I had on hand, as well as what I was in the mood for. Not too mention I’m allergic to bell peppers. French lentils, chopped tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, watercress and briefly sauteed shallots. Oh, and lemon thyme. Made Kimi’s dressing but used white wine vinegar. Fantastic!

This looks delicious and I’ll be adding lentils to my next shopping list.

For the bugs, if the above (awesome) recommendations don’t work: I mix a bottle with water (or vodka) and essential oils of cinnamon, peppermint and oregano. Also hot pepper juice is good (maybe just chop up a hot pepper and stick it in the bottle). The exact ratio of oils really isn’t important, you just want it spicy. This has kept all bugs off of plants and out of the house (I spray it around door frames too). Just keep it away from your eyes! If it gets in your eyes, use olive oil (on a paper towel) and not water to dilute.
