Forget the Tahini Baba Ganoush by Mellie Duffy

Chicken Fattoush Salad by Bob Vincent

This is a different take on traditional Lebanese fattoush salad. I have added some additional ingredients in the form of chicken breasts, red bell pepper and feta cheese that make this a nice salad main course. Toasted whole wheat pita bread adds some crunch and texture and soaks up the citrus dressing. If you're not familar with…

Bulgur Pilaf by Salad Foodie

Faster and easier to cook than rice, bulgur is a grain to consider for making pilaf. High in fiber and low in fat makes this side dish a healthful choice. Easily converts to vegetarian by omitting the chicken broth. (Medium to large grind bulgur will be best for this recipe.)

Homemade Grilled Flatbread by John Spottiswood

I couldn't find any authentic pita bread or other flat bread at my local grocery store, so I decided to try grilling my own. It turned out to be really fun and not too difficult.
