Chronicle Kitche Beat summc By YVONNE H.B. TRUHON Chronicle Staff Writer f From Caesar to Waldorf, we all like salads, especially in the hot summer, when a chef's salad is a good choice for a meal.

In the grocery store, too, a greater variety of lettuce, spinach and other salad makings is now available -- at a good price, too. A salad can serve as the prelude to a meal, an accompaniment to the meal (as bean salad or potato salad at a picnic) or a meal in itself. The difference mainly lies in the ingredients. A first-course salad will be lighter and served in smaller portions than a salad intended for a meal, which will probably include protein in the form of meat, eggs or cheese as well as greens. There are many kinds of greens. Probably the most common is iceberg lettuce, but now is the time to try others. If family members are reluctant to try new things, mix the "experimental" ingredients with iceberg. This method works so well that I have L* l l i r uruugui my nusoana irom a man who never had salad unless he went out, through eating salads with iceberg lettuce, to a man who now eats any kind of lettuce, as long as it's grown in our garden! Greens are only the beginning of the salad. Other ingredients to add are mushrooms, green or red peppers, onions or scallions, radfshes and tomatoes, regular or cherry. Salad gardeners should try growing nasturtiums and adding the spicy flowers to their salads. The flowers add to both the appearance and taste of a salad. Other perks to add to salads are croutons (you can make your own), sliced hard-cooked egg, cereals (it's the only time I'll eat Grape-Nuts), sunflower nuts or chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans. mmmninntHMiniufiimititfiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiii Short From Pa lltllHIimHIIHIIttlltlltmilHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIttlllllllltlllttl ccrns ranging from dating and premarital sex to jobs and money. Sometimes students and others who know him seek spiritual 7comfort from the minister while he's behind the wheel. 4'It's not uncommmon for people to ride the bus with me for counseling and discussion," he says. The 43-year-old minister often meets wun people seeking a blessing during route layovers that on the night shift are frequently solitary. He prays with them, sometimes "laying on hands."

We usually use Gorgonzola, blue cheese or feta cheese. Of course, no salad is complete without dressing. While bottled dressings are very convenient, making your own can be more economical, more flavorful and give a wider variety of dressing choices. Another advantage to making your own dressing is that you can limit salt or sugar to your own tastes and needs. Also, there are no chemicals, no preservatives, no dyes, nothing but natural ingredients prepared by your own hands. One of my first tasks in the kitchen when I was younger was to prepare the salad dressing. "Bichsel dressing" is a simple vinaigrette that goes well with any type of salad. My husband's new love for salad extends to dressing as well, and he likes to prepare different ones, making me guess the ingredients when I eat the salad. Whatever kind of salad you prepare, use your imagination to make it extra-special, and most of all, enjoy!

So the chaplain and the young minister prayed aloud during a layover while four other passengers looked on. One of the other riders asked to be blessed, too. # On another occasion, a New Zealand minister, whom Short had met while a guest speaker in that country, paid him a surprise visit.
