Ken Oringer believes chefs need to make a point of eating healthy dishes when they can, so he includes protein-rich quinoa in his diet at least three times a week. Here he mixes the grain with black beans, onions and peppers to make a hearty and very satisfying side dish that's a fun variation on prosaic five-bean salad.
Lemon-Herb Potato Salad isn't your mother's potato salad. Made with peppery arugula, kalamata olives, fresh herbs, and lemon, this potato salad will stand out among the other side dishes at your next gathering.
Build your ideal salad with ingredients you find at your local grocery salad bar. Look for fresh fruit, strong-flavored cheeses and nuts of all types. — Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
