Chicken Salad with Grapes, Cashews, Apples and Fresh Dill




2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, boiled, diced
1 cup seedless red grapes, each cut in half
1 cup salted cashews
1 small Gala apple, finely diced
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 celery stalk, sliced or chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lime (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste

In large bowl, stir together all ingredients until well mixed, adding salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or store in a tightly covered container for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

This recipe is quite versatile! For a slightly different flavor, swap out the grapes, cashews and lime juice for cucumbers, sliced almonds and lemon juice. This recipe can be served immediately, or stored in a tightly covered container for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator

Grilled Asparagus & Arugula Salad with Shaved Parmesan




Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fresh asparagus spears
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups arugula or spinach
4 ounces Parmesan cheese, cut into thin slices (curls) with a vegetable peeler

Directions
For dressing:
1.
In jar with screw-top lid, combine the 1/4 cup oil, lemon peel and juice, the 1/2 teaspoon salt and the 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and shake well; set aside.
2.
Clean and trim asparagus; coat lightly with the 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside. Meanwhile, clean arugula or spinach and remove excess stems; dry. Set aside.
3.
For a charcoal grill, grill asparagus crosswise on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning spears occasionally. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place asparagus crosswise on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
4.
While asparagus is warm, toss with arugula and dressing (this will wilt the arugula). Divide among 4 dinner plates and top with Parmesan curls. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

It sounds really tasty, potato salad can sometimes be a bit boring especially if it is squishy. I used to make it with the baby potatoes and keep them whole with hard boiled eggs and spring onions.

I make a potato salad that I am not kidding, I am begged to make every once in a while! I put crispy bacon in it along with just a little bit of the grease drippings from frying it, I add purple and sweet onion both raw and sauted, I use Miracle whip, boiled eggs, unpeeled potatoes, salt, pepper, paprika and I serve it warm. Try it you'll like it and so will they!
