    Prepare the salad. Place potatoes whole and unpeeled in vegetable steamer, covered, over boiling water for 20 minutes or until almost tender. While potatoes are steaming, prepare broccoli, greens and dressing. Remove from heat and cut into 1/2" cubes (peeling is optional). Place in large bowl and set aside. Melt butter in small saucepan, Pour butter over potatoes and toss well. Add sea salt and paprika and mix well. Place potatoes in one layer on cookie sheet. Place at highest shelf position in preheated broiler. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes. While potatoes are boiling, steam broccoli whole for 5 to 7 minutes or until just tender and bright green. Remove from heat immediately and set aside to cool. Place lettuce and spinach in large bowl, and add sprouts, separated so they don't clump. Add cabbage. Cut broccoli lengthwise into thin slivers. Add to greens.

    1 lg. clove garlic
    2 tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice
    1/4 - 1/2 tsp. sea salt (optional)

    1-2 tbsp. mayonnaise

Add lemon or lime juice, salt, olive oil and herbs. Add mayonnaise and whip dressing with garlic fork until thick and creamy. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. Complete the salad. Remove potatoes from broiler. Add to salad. Season with pepper, if desired. Toss well.
