Apple-Cranberry Salad
Great salad you can serve on the side of a main dish or add roasted chicken and have as a meal! Chopped Belgian endive and radicchio can be substituted for the baby greens if you prefer a flavorful twist on salad recipes.
Authentic Lebanese Fattoush
This Lebanese fattoush recipe is good for hot weather. The salad uses two unusual ingredients: sumac and purslane. Sumac, usually sold ground, is made from ground red berries and used in Middle Eastern, mainly Lebanese, cooking. Purslane is a succulent with a lemony flavor and makes a nice salad green. I find them at farmers' markets.
