Threesomes...

Food and Wine magazine was all bubbly about dishes with only three ingredients!  Thinking that the less you have to do in the kitchen is a good thing, I leafed through them.  Many of them were salads and featured kale -- all of  sudden kale is the new Miss America of fresh produce.  "Dahling!  Everyone just loves little ole me!"

I don't.  So I gave "three ingredients" some thought and came up with these - no kale was hurt in the production of these dishes.

Green Peppers
1 green pepper, sliced in long strips
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 T olive oil
Pinch of sea salt

Grind the garlic into the salt with the back of  spoon, add the olive oil and throw in the pepper slices and toss the whole thing.

Oeufs Dur which is the French version of America's deviled eggs
1 hard-boiled egg, shelled and halved the long way.
Mayonnaise as needed to slather the top of each egg half. White pepper to taste.

Fresh Onion Chip Dip
1 medium red or white onion, chopped
1 small container sour cream
Pinch of sea salt.

Mix the onions into the sour cream, dash with sea salt and let sit in the refrigerator for up to n hour to let the onion flavor permeate the sour cream.

Tartar Sauce
2 T onion, chopped
2 T sweet pickle relish
2 T chopped pimento-stuffed olives
Mayonnaise to mix.
