Hot Potato Salad

This Hot Potato Salad is a recipe my sister-in-law got from her friend's family. It's a perfect hearty side dish for Octoberfest. The hot potatoes get tossed in a  smokey, tangy, bacon vinaigrette. You know, to soak up all that beer!

Sicilian Chunk Vegetable Salad

I've been making this Sicilian Chunk Vegetable Salad for years. It’s a wonderful, satisfying salad. I love anything crunchy. It’s best to make it earlier in the day.

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.
