Couscous Salad with Chicken and NectarinesMain dish salads make great Summer meals, so you won’t need to heat up your kitchen. |
Vegetable ChiliVegetarian chili sounds strange but this simple chili combines eggplant and other vegetables with canned beans with lots of spices. You won’t miss the meat. |
 |
Kim's Clam ChowderCostco sells these very large tins of chopped clams. This soup is traditional, not thickened and has clams in every bite. |
Lentil ChiliPuy Lentils are the little green ones, they are also called French lentils. I find them bulk at Winco. |
Curried Apple and Lentil SoupSavory with fruit is the best. This is a hearty soup with the lentils and sweet potatoes, the apples add a lighter texture. |

Butternut Squash Soup with Apples, Prosciutto and CheddarThis is a great hearty soup, you can make it vegetarian but leaving out the prosciutto garnish. |
Grilled Chicken Salad with BlackberriesMy sister loves to pick berries, and on a recent visit she picked lots of blackberries at our neighborhood park. This is a great way to use them to make a simple, wonderful dinner salad for warm summer evenings. |
Dried Cherry and Almond Chicken SaladThis is a tasty addition to your picnic basket or patio gathering. It’s easy to make starting with a store-bought roasted chicken, adding cherries, nuts, and a few chili flakes for zip. |

Salad with Chévre (goat cheese) CroutonThis simple yet amazing salad came from the restaurant where I interned when we lived in Barcelona. This was my favorite salad that Chef Phillipe made, and he would make it for me even if it wasn’t on the menu. Use a high-quality goat cheese, preferably one with a rind. This salad is beautiful plated individually. |
Zucchini Salad with Cilantro DressingI have not offered this recipe in a class, but I have used it several times for catered events to great reviews. Since zucchini is available year-round this is a great salad to add to your recipe box. |
Southwest Caesar SaladI catered a western-themed party and invented this recipe as part of the menu. It’s a Caesar salad with a smoked paprika Caesar dressing and roasted corn. |
Couscous Salad with Nectarines and Chickpeas and a Honey-Cumin DressingThis is a great salad to serve along side barbequed meats, or is perfect for your next picnic. The ingredients can be prepared in advance and tossed together before serving. |
Greek Lentil SaladThis is a great salad, side dish, or even a main dish served with Greek pitas or a crusty French bread. |
Ensalada de Judias Blancas (white bean salad)I have made this salad several times for catered events and it's been very popular- simple to make, but it will impress your guests. |
Minestrone SoupIf you omit the sausage and change the beef broth to vegetable broth the dish can be vegetarian, without losing any of the flavor. Serve with warm bread. |
Orange Rosemary Potato SaladI get great reviews every time I serve this salad. I even hear from people that do not like potato salad that they are converts. |
Rosemary Chicken Salad with Smoked AlmondsThis recipe is perfect for a picnic. I usually serve this chicken salad on potato rolls, but it would also be great on a bed of baby greens lightly dressed with a basic vinaigrette. |
Tortellini and Vegetable Salad with an Orange DressingThis is a simple recipe that looks impressive, has lots of color, and tastes wonderful. It also keeps well because it makes a lot. Great for a potluck. |
Middle Eastern ChiliMake a pot of this simple and delicious chili and serve some warm pita bread on the side. The beans and ground lamb are a very different combination, topped with garlic yogurt. |
Spinach, Mushroom, Pear, and Blue Cheese SaladThis is a very simple recipe, make your dressing in advance. Toss salad together right before serving. |
