I love creating new variations on tuna sandwiches. This one is made with basil pesto, and served on rye bread with slices of tomato and leaves of lettuce. I made this for my husband's lunch the other day, and he wanted them again for dinner that night!
Grilling heightens the sweetness and flavor of the nectarines. Because they have such thin skins, nectarines don't require peeling for this dish. However, you may substitute fresh peeled peaches if you prefer.
Cranberry sauce, the base for the vinaigrette, lends a holiday flavor to this super tasty salad. You can make and refrigerate the dressing up to a week ahead.
This salad is dressed with a lime vinaigrette and has lots of crunch and flavor with a little jalapeno pepper pop. Use summer fresh ingredients from the garden or farmer's market.
This zesty combination of raw pomegranate and tender fresh kale makes a surprisingly great salad! The addition of almonds and sunflower seeds gives a tasty crunch.

This Fava Bean, Asparagus, and Arugula Salad with Shaved Pecorino recipe contains fava beans, pecorino romano, extra-virgin olive oil, asparagus, arugula and more.
I love a Caprese salad of tomatoes, basil and cheese, so why not use them with chicken? You can grill this dish, but my family agrees it’s juicier straight from the oven. —Dana Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona
Haricots verts are thin, tender green beans. If you can't find them, use trimmed regular green beans, but add them to the pasta after 8 minutes of cooking since they'll take longer to cook. You can make the salad ahead, but dress it just before serving so the beans don't turn drab.
Look for caper berries near the olives in the supermarket; they should be next to the capers, but they're much bigger and have a stem. In a pinch, substitute about a tablespoon of chopped capers. Japanese eggplants have thinner skins than typical globe eggplants, so you can leave the peel on. The light purple color is pretty, too.
Yellow-red Mr. Stripey tomatoes give this ice a light hue. Use red or purple tomatoes if you want a darker granita, if you prefer. Mixing purple basil with deep-green Italian basil yields a nuanced flavor and a lovely garnish.
