Thumb_10335_Jamon Serrano And Cantaloupe Salad

On the classic melon and jamòn serrano plate, the ham would be thinly sliced and shaped like cones. Or the melon would be thinly sliced and layered with the ham. We like this hybrid form, because you can easily divide the melon with the bits of ham evenly distributed.

This is a classic party snack with some Spanish flavors. While they're meant to be a tapas offering, these almonds also make a great finish for green salads and single vegetable dishes.

Thumb_12069_Avocado, Sweet Onion And Grapefruit Salad

Thumb_12069_Avocado, Sweet Onion And Grapefruit Salad

The combination of onions, avocados, and grapefruit may seem odd, but try it - the sweet onions and tangy grapefrut are both softened by the silky avocado.  And they create a beautifully colorful plate too.

This Fried Green Tomato Salad with Sweet Chili Dressing was so satisfying that I have a feeling that many of our tomatoes this season will be plucked before ripening. Read more about this recipe at Steamy Kitchen.
