Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This composed salad has three simple parts with a very pleasing result. I doubled the recipe for four, left out the dill and used a huge jalapeño and would do so again.

    Delicious! I made the tuna crema version, and loved it. The smoky char combined with the sweet lettuce, and the creamy tuna sauce is very good. Easy to make the tuna crema and cucumber salsa ahead, and sear the lettuces when ready to serve. Quite attractive on a plate.

    This was good, probably not a repeat (very few recipes make the repeat list) but we enjoyed it. There were 2 versions of the recipe, we went with the tuna crema version.
