Fresh Figs, Israeli Feta & Arugula Salad with Balsamic Honey Vinaigrette

My friend Jessica told me to make this salad using Israeli Feta cheese. It's amazing. I don't really like feta, but this one is different. It's full-flavored, creamy, and not overly salty. It's made from sheep and goat's milk. It goes perfectly with fresh figs, the spicy, slightly bitter arugula and the sweet honey balsamic dressing.

Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola and Arugula Salad

My husband created this absolutely delicious Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola, and Arugula Salad. The sweet figs, salty pistachios, creamy Gorgonzola, and peppery arugula are all perfectly balanced in this salad, and the balsamic dressing adds a touch of acidity that really brings everything together. It's such a great combination of flavors. We used to have a huge fig tree at our old house and miss it terribly.

Roasted Red & Golden Beets with Sunflower Seeds & Arugula

This Roasted Red & Golden Beets with Sunflower Seeds & Arugula has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The maple sherry vinaigrette is transcendent. The original recipe calls for fresh chervil, which I could not find. I plan on growing my own.

Freekeh Salad with Apricots, Grilled Halloumi & Zucchini

Freekeh Salad with Apricots, Grilled Halloumi & Zucchini is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. Freekeh is a whole grain that is high in fiber and protein, and it has a nutty flavor that pairs well with grilled zucchini and halloumi cheese. The apricots add a touch of sweetness, and the scallions, pistachios, and parsley provide additional flavor and texture.
The salad is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. If you don't have halloumi cheese, you can substitute feta or another type of salty cheese. You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or peppers.

Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burgers

These Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burgers are well worth the effort. These high-fiber, plant protein burgers are nestled on a kale salad with roasted chickpeas. I have to say, they are delicious. A high-fiber diet lowers your risk for colon cancer.
