Salmon Caesar Salad
This salmon Caesar salad, with Romaine lettuce, topped with cold salmon, toasted croutons, and a homemade Caesar dressing, will be the salad you will make all summer long.
Chef John's Spaghetti with Red Clam Sauce
This spaghetti with red clam sauce is one of my 'go to' recipes and it takes only about 15 minutes from start to finish. The only prep work really is mashing the garlic. The sauce is great on any pasta, but I prefer angel hair or spaghetti.

This bar has the two crusts as requested, and has a strong tangy lemon taste, so much better than most of the lemon bar recipes out there due to the lemon curd and added coconut!
