Chickpea and Tomato Salad with Grilled Pita

Chickpea and Tomato Salad with Grilled Pita by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a refreshing and delicious salad. It's healthy and filling, so a good salad to serve with soup or another lighter dish. It's super quick if you use canned garbanzo beans, or save money by using dried chickpeas. This is a great side dish for when you are grilling.

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing by Nancy Miyasaki

A simple but fantastic salad with a very nice dressing. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add depth and flavor to this salad. We all really enjoyed this. Another amazing dish from my good friend Marci Chan!

Old Fashioned Cucumber Salad with White Vinegar

Old Fashioned Cucumber Salad with White Vinegar by K. Garner

Old fashioned recipe my mother-in-law used to make. She was hard pressed to give me exact amounts. She slices her cucumber first and then adds the wet ingredients to cover it. In other words, there is no recipe. If you need an exact recipe, see the link provided. It's very close

Favorite Creamy Coleslaw

Favorite Creamy Coleslaw by Frosted Flaker

For me, this has just the right balance of slaw to dressing. A true creamy slaw delight. Keep in mind this produces a VERY creamy version of coleslaw. To reduce the creaminess, simply add a bit more cabbage.

Mediterranean Summer Salad

Mediterranean Summer Salad by Amos Miller

This Spanish-influenced salad is refreshing anytime you have it - from a dinner party to a picnic lunch. Bright notes of lime and cilantro. the wonderful pairing of sweet onion and navel orange, the sensuously smooth silkiness of avocado and tomato, all set off by the crisp crunch of toasted almond slices and the elegant earthiness…

This is great with bunelos (I make my cinnamon sugar tortilla chips fresh or buy the bunelos by the bag) and is also great with grilled chicken, grilled tilapia or with pork tenderloin.

Hawaiian Crest Salsa

Hawaiian Crest Salsa by Smokinhotchef

I came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken. I had just visited the supermarket, so I had lots of fresh ingredients on hand. My sister Gayle said this recipe reminded her of Hawaii and crisp freshness…

Loaded Guacamole

Loaded Guacamole by Smokinhotchef

The Aztecs called the avocado "ahuacatl" or testicle for obvious reasons. They used avocados for aphrodisiac purposes, as well as for fertility rituals. The early English called it the "alligator pear". These fruits provide major B vitamins and fiber and possess anti-inflammatory benefits as well as the ability to lower the risks…

Tomato Salsa

Tomato Salsa by Ken Podgorsek

This salsa was served on top of a traditional mayonnaise style macaroni salad (see Cooks Illustrated recipe) alongside the Slow Roasted Lamb Spareribs. It was a surprisingly great combination. We served it again the next day for the neighborhood 4th of July BBQ and it was a huge hit. The salsa held up overnight. It made a beautiful…
