Cuisine: Salad
Roasted Parmesan Tomatoes
Roasted Parmesan Tomatoes is a great addition to any salad. Roasting tomatoes helps to concentrate the flavor. I served these with an arugula salad. You can use different kinds of cheeses like goat cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, etc.

Ham Salad
This Ham Salad recipe is an old family favorite. I always make this with leftover ham. You can have your butcher (if you have a butcher!) grind ham for you, or grind it in a food processor or grinding attachment.
- Yields: Makes about 3¾ cups, enough for 6 sandwiches
Kale & Brussels Sprout Salad with Cranberries & Toasted Almonds
This Kale & Brussels Sprout Salad with Cranberries & Almonds salad so healthy and nutritious. Kale is among the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Eating more kale is a great way to dramatically increase the total nutrient content of your diet.

Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese
Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese is a wonderful appetizer or side dish! I have been known to wake up in the morning and eat pickled beets. Yes, I know I'm weird! My favorite being Pickled Beets and Eggs. Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals, and the juice from red beets has been actually shown to reduce high blood pressure. Beets help cleanse your liver, boost your sex drive (nature's Viagra), combat depression, relaxes the mind, contributes to a sense of well being and the list goes on.

Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula
Instead of doing the typical tomato / basil thing, I decided to go out on a limb and try Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula. Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.
I love grilled fruit. This recipe would also work with peaches or nectarines.

Orange, Fennel & Red Onion Salad
This Orange, Fennel & Red Onion Salad is a beautiful salad that is so light and refreshing. It's a popular Sicilian salad. The fennel's licorice-like flavor pairs well with the sweetness of the orange and the acidity of the red onion. It is a good salad to make ahead of time, as the flavors will only improve with time.
