This is an adaptation of my Mom's recipe. A very colorful salad that's great any time of the year. A light creamy salad dressing can be substituted to reduce calories. I've also substituted frozen shrimp for canned on occasion, depending on availability.

Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction
This balsamic-sauced lamb chop recipe is a favorite in my house. Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. It serves four people, but if you like two chops each as we do, you'll want to double the recipe. And if you do, just remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.
Calzagatti (Pan-Fried Polenta and Beans)
From Italy's Emilia-Romagna, creamy polenta and cranberry beans are cooked together and then pan-fried. This particular version hails from Modena, famous for sports cars and Luciano Pavarotti. This recipe can also be called "casagai" or "cazzagai". This street food makes a lovely snack or appetizer and is best served with a light red wine. Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a salad for a light meal.
