This is a great summer salad to serve alongside any grilled meat. We also love to serve it with quesadillas and burritos in lieu of homemade salsa. If you have any leftover, chop it up and use it the next day in a sandwich.

Herbed Tuna Salad With Feta And Pine Nuts

This tuna salad would be good on bread or in a pita but I’ve discovered that my favorite way to eat this is to scoop it right onto a piece of lettuce, pick it up, and eat it by hand. This came from Nicole of Pinch My Salt and was the featured recipe for Root Source: Chives.

Hearts Of Romaine Salad With Lemon-Parsley Vinaigrette

Romaine is great for salads because it is so crunchy and juicy at the same time, and still has a bright green flavor. We dress it up with a simple lemon vinaigrette, which would really work on any salad.

Spinach And Tomato Salad With Bacon Vinaigrette

The deep green of spinach holds up much better than lighter greens to this bacon vinaigrette - and the tomatoes give the whole thing a wonderful sweetness.

Grilled Chili-Cumin Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is great on the grill. Just be sure to tie in the ends so they don't dry out before the thicker center is cooked. Letting it sit for several minutes before cutting keeps the juices where you want them: in your tenderloin.

Frisee Salad

The slightly prickly and bitter frisée is a beautiful contrast to richer meat and cream-based dishes. The variations and additions are endless for this basic salad, but we also love a big bowl of frisée by itself as a mid-afternoon snack or as the finish to a big meal.

Frisee With Warm Bacon Vinaigrette

The slightly prickly and bitter frisée, technically an endive and member of the chicory family, is a beautiful contrast to richer dishes, and goes so well with this dark and smoky bacon vinaigrette.
