I am a big fan of Chick-fil-A's® grilled market salad and their signature zesty apple cider vinaigrette! So, I developed a recipe to fill that craving. This dressing is simply amazing… the zing of the apple cider vinegar, hint of sweet pineapple and tangy lime juice, and warm heat of the freshly cracked black pepper is a sure winner!

Grilled Corn Salad
This grilled corn salad made with roasted corn, garden-fresh vegetables, and cilantro makes the perfect side dish for any BBQ or hot summer day.
Duck Fried Rice
This duck fried rice is how I like to use up leftovers from our favorite takeout meal of Chinese roast duck and barbecued pork. The ingredient amounts can vary depending on what leftovers you have, but fried rice dishes are very forgiving.
Pasta Alla Caponata
Chef John's pasta alla caponata turns a famously delicious Sicilian vegetable relish, caponata, into a fabulously delicious pasta sauce. With eggplant, capers, and pine nuts in a rich tomato sauce, this pasta dish is incredible. If you have leftovers—and you probably won't—it makes a great cold summer pasta salad, too, with just an added splash of olive oil.
