Potato Salad with onions and celery

Red onions can be used in so many dishes. I love them and my kids have started to appeciate their tangy taste in all kinds of salads and dips. Here's a delicious potato salad recipe with my favorite ingredients: red onions and celery.

2 ribs celery, minced
½ medium red onion, minced

2 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1.) Put potatoes in a pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook until just tender, about 12 minutes.
2.) Drain and transfer to a large bowl along with celery and onions.
3.) In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, relish, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper.
4.) Add to potatoes along with eggs (optional) and toss. Chill.

Zesty Lemon bars

Lemon bars are fast and easy to make. A great treat for Spring days when rain alternates with sunshine and zesty takes turns with sweet.

Ingredients:
For the crust:
1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
For the filling:
6 extra-large eggs at room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4 to 6 lemons)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

1.) First, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer for the crust.
2.) Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed.
3.) Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.
4.) Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned.
5.) Let cool on a wire rack.

Leave the oven on.

6.) For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour.
7.) Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set.
8.) Let cool to room temperature.

Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.
