These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Summer Salad

We had this as a side with Balsamic Chicken ~ the sweet flavors went together really well!

Serves: 2–4
Ingredients:
1 large yellow peach
1 heirloom tomato
1 cup cherries, halved and pitter
2 tablespoons basil, chiffonade (rolled up and chopped into ribbons)
2 tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon mint, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Slice up the peach into thin slices, roughly cube the tomato into one inch chunks, and combine with the cherries in a bowl. Add the herbs. In a small lidded container or with a whisk, combine the lime juice, agave nectar, olive oil, salt and pepper until mixed together.  Pour over the herbs and fruit and combine to dress.
