Here are my versions on a few classics!
Up first is potato salad but without the mayo (who wants that when it's hot anyways)! Doesn't it look delicious?
It's basically a German inspired version of our American classic. Use roasted (or grilled) potatoes. While the potatoes are roasting, crisp up a package of bacon and caramelize half of a yellow onion. Once the bacon and onion are ready, add in brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and dijon mustard. Toss your potatoes with your vinaigrette. Add salt and pepper to taste and top with chopped dill and parsley! Delicious warm or room temperature! I served it with sloppy joes and it was a hit!

Next up, is a twist on pasta salad! This one is a Mediterranean Orzo salad. Light, fresh, and easy!
All you do is make the orzo according the box instructions (tip: use chicken broth instead of water for more flavor!). Then, add in EVERYTHING else! Tomatoes, red onion, olives, artichokes, feta cheese, parsley, salt and pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. The end! I fell in love with orzo about a year ago when a friend made it at dinner. He literally just put everything that he didn't use for our fish and green bean side dish into the orzo and it was delicious! This is just my version. Try it and create your own! Here is the recipe.
Last up is fruit salad! I get SO tired of just plain old fruit in a plain old bowl. Get real. It's boring. You got to think outside the box!
Mine calls for watermelon, cucumbers, peaches, jalapeño, mint, agave, and lime juice. I serve it up with whipped cream and crushed up pistachios for a salty crunch! Try adding mangos or strawberries! Or maybe radishes or avocado. Combine veggies with fruit...it's ok! Click here for my ingredients and then make your own version!
