Cucumber Tomato Salad with Zucchini and Black Olives in Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette
This zucchini salad is a deliciously light and fresh-tasting twist on cucumber tomato salad. It takes me to the water's edge and begs to be served with fresh seafood. Substitute Greek Kalamata olives for black olives if desired.

Lobster Ravioli
The lobster is simply enriched with mascarpone, aromatics, and fresh herbs, so the sweet lobster meat shines through in the finished ravioli. If you want to jazz it up, add some cayenne pepper, Parmesan, or saffron.
Branzino Mediterranean
Branzino, also known as European sea bass, is a delicious white fish with a mild flavor. I like to cook them whole, stuffed with lemon wedges, fresh oregano, and rosemary before roasting them for an easy dinner full of Greek flavor.
Spicy Ranch Pretzels
These spicy ranch pretzels have a bit of a kick to them, plus that ranch flavor we all love. You only need 4 ingredients and a little bit of hands-on time to make them. They are a perfect snack for on the go, packed lunch, or watching a game.
