American BBQ Corn Salad by shelley scott

This salad is easy, fresh and delicious and not necessarily just for a BBQ. I found there is a lot of flexibility with the recipe -- I added more arugula, less dressing. The cheese gives it nice flavor.

Ranch Dressing by Bob Vincent

This is a quick and easy Ranch Dressing. I use Penzey's dry buttermilk ranch mix. Others will work such as Hidden Valley etc.or create your own mix. The dressing stores well in the refrigerator.

Arugula with Packham Pears and Borage Blossoms by Warren Weber

Nutty arugula and sweet pears make this salad an excellent after-dinner course. Prepare the salad before dinner; a squeeze of lime over the pears will keep them from darkening.
