It's date night again-Friday. I have to say even though we bought a beautiful sword fish steak from Byerly's to share, the diamond in the rough was the potato salad tonight. We wood fired the fish with only salt, pepper and olive oil-super yummy. The sword fish was on sale for $14.99 a pound ($8.00 off per pound) and the steak was just under a pound. $14.99 a pound sounds outrageous, but our steak cost a little over $12.00 and you can't buy sword fish in a restaurant anywhere for that price-so there you go, cheap date. Back to the highlight of the night, southwestern potato salad. It's a refreshing change from the norm. It goes like this...1 1/2 cups mayo, 1/4 cup dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 small chipotle pepper chopped, 1 large ripe tomato seeded and chopped, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 3 green onions white and green parts chopped, 1 thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 4 cloves fresh chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste, and a good pot of cubed red potatoes. You can mix this after the potatoes have cooled a bit, but they can still be warm, I think they soak up the sauce better. At any rate, this is a great way to switch up regular potato salad and make something different. It has a little zip, but zip is good-keeps the blood pumpin'. Enjoy a taste of the southwest....
