	Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John Spottiswood This is an attractive and tasty side dish. The butter, basil and tomato adds a nice flavor boost to the green beans. I've made them with garlic salt and regular kosher salt, both are delicious. If you want to spice it up, add more black pepper or substitute crushed red pepper for the black pepper.	9 votes 4 reviews 3 comments 7519 views
	Tabouli by Jacqui Patek This is a quick and fresh dish that is good all year round. I love to serve it with pita chips.	8 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 49266 views
	Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John Spottiswood It is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste…	8 votes 5 reviews 1 comment 33840 views
	Roasted Corn & Tomato Salad with Basil Balsamic Dressing by Amos Miller Super simple Summer salad! Almost a relish, yet offering opportunity for countless variations, this is picnic & BBQ perfect. On these hot summer days, you may not want to fire up the broiler, but this salad is so easy to bring together that when the coals are ready on the grill, just lay the unhusked ears of sweet corn over the…	7 votes 3 reviews 10642 views
	Butter Lettuce and Avocado salad with Citrus Vinaigrette by John Spottiswood I'm a sucker for fresh butter lettuce with citrus and avocado. I adapted this recipe (rather major adaptions) from a recipe in the America's Test Kitchen Menu's cookbook. I thought the salad, and the dressing in particular, was just amazing. The mayo, Dijon and honey balance nicely with tanginess of the tangerine juice. If you are…	5 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 3336 views
	Tomato and Avocado Salad by John Spottiswood This is a wonderful salad. Steeping the avocado in the lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper for an hour before serving is a real key to the flavor. We served this with small but flavorful tomatoes, so instead of the presentation recommended below, we just tossed everything together and served it. If I had big slices of heirloom…	4 votes 1 review 5 comments 5430 views
	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!	4 votes 1 review 5850 views
	Guacamole Tex-Mex by Amos Miller Super simple - fast - packs just enough punch. It will be the best you ever tasted. Bring on the cervesas, margaritas - and lots of quality tortilla chips! Just like Chipotle - but homemade!	4 votes 1 review 5 comments 9525 views
	Spinach Salad with Avocado and Toasted Almonds by John Spottiswood Creamy, crunchy, spicy and sweet, this salad covers all the flavor bases and provides a wonderful base for the linked Ginger Sesame Salmon recipe. It's beautiful too.	4 votes 1 review 4 comments 4931 views
	Easy Candied Pecans by Salad Foodie A snack for the gods! Sprinkle atop your favorite greens, blue cheese topped or chicken salad. For holiday entertaining leave the pecans in halves rather than chopping, and serve in a festive bowl.	4 votes 1 review 2 comments 16994 views
	Hummus by Frosted Flaker This is a great snack for any time of year. I personally serve it with Kalamata olives and sometimes even diced cucumber and/or bell pepper. Keep in mind that after blending, fine-tuning the mixture with slightly more tahini and/or lemon juice is often needed (see step 3). As a footnote, tahini is what gives the hummus its creamy…	4 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 9489 views
	Fire Up The Grill, Toss the Slaw, I've Got The Fastest Salad Ever!!! Plus, Enter To Win Tropical Traditions Coconut. by kathy gori There are days when no matter how much I love it, I just don't feel like cooking.

That does happen sometimes but most of the time, since we try to watch what we eat and keep it on the…	3 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 5170 views
	Tabouli by Joanne There isn't a side dish that offers a fresher taste than tabouli. The lemon, the parsley...they clean your mouth with garden fresh flavors. Healthy, filling and such a reward to have next to your favorite entree.	3 votes 2 reviews 4114 views
	Rajma (Kidney Bean Curry) with Spinach by Chitra Agrawal Rajma is a North Indian curry of kidney beans cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices. "Rajma chawal" which just means rajma and rice is the most popular way to eat this curry, kind of like the Indian version of rice and beans. I liken rajma also to chili since it's cooked in a spicy tomato gravy. Usually, it's not made with spinach…	3 votes 1 review 4040 views
	Squash In A Spice Paste Done Pronto! by kathy gori This has been one hell of a week, one of those 7 day stretches that includes everything on lifes' smorgey...except dental. Of course the week's not over yet. It's been a week of some nerves, some loss, some traveling, some stress and the general sense of just being unable to catch up. That said, I can't wait for Monday to start the…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 4266 views
