Shrimp Cobb Salad with Creamy Vinaigrette
Roasted Chicken with Fregola Salad
With temperature in the high 90’s last week, I searched for some great salads for dinner. This delicious chicken salad is adapted from The Bergdorf Goodman Cookbook. I used a rotisserie chicken found at a local market and I used Israeli couscous instead of fregola.
Roasted Chicken with Fregola Salad
Ingredients
- 12 ounces of fregola or Israeli pearl couscous
- 1 pound roasted chicken breast, shredded
- 10 ounces grape tomatoes
- 1 10-ounce jar roasted red peppers
- 4 cups (packed) baby arugula
- 1 4-ounce jar grilled artichoke hearts
- 1/2 cup Lemon Vinaigrette, plus more for serving (recipe follows)
- 2 teaspoons pine nuts, lightly toasted
- salt and pepper
Lemon Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup grapeseed oil, add slowly
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the fregola, chicken, tomatoes, red peppers, arugula, and artichokes. Toss with the vinaigrette, then top with the pine nuts. Serve chilled or room temperature.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of water, the mustard, and the honey, then gradually whisk in the oil until emulsified. Leftover dressing can be covered tightly and store din the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers
This could be a meal by themselves or it would go nicely along grilled meat. It did take longer to cook than what the recipe stated. But, I will place the baking dish on the bottom shelf. I also made a mistake and added to much water and so the sauce was too thin. Only add enough water to reach a quarter of the height of the vegetables.

Stuffed Zucchini
Great recipe if you’re entertaining! Adapted from Ina Garten’s Make it Ahead cookbook. It can be refrigerated up to 6 hours, just finish baking it before serving.

5 Summer Salads
More summer salads!
It is the season of picnics, fireworks, and parties. I have picked out a few of our favorite salads for today and the few weeks ahead.
We love Balsamic vinegar and one of our favorite potato salads is this Balsamic Roasted Red Potato Salad (click for link to recipe). It can be served warm or at room temperature but the flavor is amazing! An unexpected dish for the summer is always fun.
This BLT Pasta Salad (click for link to recipe) is a great addition to a barbecue. The pasta with the BLT salad adds a whole level of texture and makes it nice and filling for those teens that you may have that seem to have never-ending appetites.
This is one of my most favorite salads. The goat cheese, the blueberries, and the slightly sweet/tart dressing are amazing together! The toasted almonds add a nice crunch too.
