White Beans and Shrimp. Canned white beans and store-bought cooked shrimp are a simple, natural pairing. Toss with a dressing of oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and herbs, and either serve over lettuce or on crusty rolls.Also, hummus is a yummy no-cook food--it's great on sandwiches or wraps, or as a dip.
TMB (tomato, mozz & basil)
Ingredients:
1 ripe tomato
1 part-skim mozzarella ball
1 bunch fresh basil
2 slices of your favorite bread or roll
balsamic vinegar
salt
Directions:
First, cut three slices of the tomato, about 1/4-inch thick. Place slices on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt to remove excess liquid. Next, cut two slices of the mozzarella, about 1/2 inch thick. Place mozzarella slices on bread, top with three tomato slices. Then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and top with basil leaves, about three or four. Add remaining bread slice, cut on a diagonal, and enjoy.
My favorite summer salad:
greens of your choice
sliced strawberries
toasted almonds (toast in a dry pan)
your favorite raspberry or other sweet vinaigrette (I like blush wine vinaigrette for this one)
jack cheese, shredded
So, put the greens in your giant bowl, top with the cheese, then the strawberries (make 'em look pretty), then the almonds. Pour over dressing just before tossing. Obviously, impress your friends by tossing at the table so they can marvel at your gorgeous salad. You could put chicken in this too for you carnivores.
