In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, olives, and goat cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk vinaigrette with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, sea salt and pepper, to taste. Combine with vegetables and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
Meanwhile, to make the croutons, heat a medium nonstick skillet with the olive oil to medium-high heat, and sprinkle them with garlic powder, and parsley. Saute the croutons, until crispy, for about 5 minutes, and set aside.
Once the Greek Salad has been refrigerated for 30 minutes, serve equally amongst four salad plates, and top with croutons. – Enjoy!

Tips: I most successfully cube my goat cheese using dental floss vs a knife. Also, if you are using a regular cucumber, please peel and remove seeds before cutting it into cubes.

Suan La Huang Gua Pickled Cucumber Salad
Pickled Cucumber Salad (suan la huang gua)
Pickled vegetables are a mainstay of Chinese cuisine, from North to South; this dish would constitute what might be called a “fresh” pickle, and is distinct from the many hundreds of varieties that are cured indefinitely in earthen jars. It is bright and healthy, and is an excellent compliment to any heavier main dish. Small pickling cucumbers are best to use for suan la huang gua—unskinned, they will remain crisp as the acidic ingredients work on the vegetable. Having seen this appetizer countless times when traveling in Sichuan province, I can’t imagine beginning a Sichuan meal without it.
1 lb small pickling cucumbersWash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut off the round ends. Leaving on the skins, slice each cucumber in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Cut the cucumbers in quarters lengthwise, then eighths, forming wedges. Cut the wedges in half, crosswise, and place in a bowl with a few dashes of salt. Allow to marinate for 1 or 2 hours, tossing occasionally, to extract some of the water. Drain thoroughly and towel to dry.
2 or 3 medium garlic cloves, sliced thin crosswise
3 small dried red chilis, or 1 fresh red chili, or both, finely shredded
1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorn, roasted and ground
1 Tab rice vinegar
1 Tab rock sugar (cane sugar will do)
1 Tab peanut Oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tab finely shredded ginger
When cucumbers are ready stir fry garlic slices in a wok with a tablespoon of peanut oil until slightly browned; transfer the garlic slices and any of the oil in which it was cooked to a mixing bowl. Add cucumbers, Sichuan peppercorn, vinegar, sugar, peanut and sesame oil and ginger. Marinate for an hour or a day or two (This fresh pickle will lose some of its crisp texture after a day or two).

Sufferin Succotash Salad
Originally, I was going to grill the corn first, and then slice the cooked kernels into the salad. As I started to prep, I took a little nibble off the end of the ear, and it was so sweet and juicy that I decided to change the plan, and go au natural.
Thanks to the sweet, starchy crunch of the raw corn, the combination of tastes and textures in this salad is outstanding. Sure, you could certainly add more than the four ingredients called for here, but Im wondering if that would really make this any more perfect.
As youll see in the clip, the dressing could not be simpler, but will rely on a quality barbecue sauce to bring everything together. I used my wife Micheles famous SFQ sauce, but your favorite barbecue sauce should work out as well (assuming its deeply-flavored, complex, and kind of spicy).
Anyway, this may not be the most exciting, or visually thrilling thing weve made around here, but what it lacks in aesthetic charm, it more than makes up for in everything else. I hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 ears fresh sweet corn
1 large red bell pepper, small dice
4 green onions, chopped fine
1 can white beans, rinsed, drained
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing:
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Healthy Fruit Salad
Fruit salads are my favorite for any season, I personally do not wish to miss any seasonal fruit. Mango, Water melon, musk melon, are my favorite fruits in summer season. Water melon is rich in antioxidants and minerals, the refreshing smoothie made with just water melons & ice cubes makes me feel like being in heaven in this hot summer. I combined all the summer fruits with honey and gave it to my hubby he just munched on them. No snack can beat this salad on a hot day.
The fruits I used:
Water melon-de-seeded & chopped-1 cup
Musk melon- chopped-1/2cup
Sweet mango-washed, pealed & chopped-1/2cup
Black grapes-10 in number (halved)
Blueberries- 10 in number
Strawberry-2 in number
orange-pealed and diced-1 big
Dates diced-2 in number
Honey-2ts
Directions:
Mix all the fruits in a big bowl and refrigerate them for 20-30min by covering the bowl. Now take them out and add honey and serve. I bet you will love it.
