Default fav summer salads

moroccan carrot and chickpeas with fresh lemon, cumin & touch of sugar dressing (julienne & blanch carrots quickly cool in dressing to marinate) add cilantro and red onion to taste.

french potato salad - haricot vert, baby white or red potato, marinated artichokes, & whole grain dijon mustard. Dressing is combo of some of the artichoke marinade and the whole grain mustard

cheese Tortellini with feta, mint, red & yellow roasted peppers, basic vinaigrette. filling - can add dolmatis cut in half as garnish.

watermelon, feta & lime - sublime

simple caprese pasta salad - trick is to marinate fresh mozzarella balls (cherry size) in EVOO, fresh garlic & herbs - add chiffonade of fresh spinach or arugula to kick it up too.
