Chilled Lobster Salad with Sweet Summer Corn and Tomatoes. The perfect light summer salad, made with sweet summer corn, grape tomatoes, garden herbs and chilled steamed lobster. Serve this for two as a main dish salad or for four as a first course as pictured here. I revived this one from the archives since this is the perfect time of year to make it. August is a great time to buy lobster here on Long Island, I can usually get great specials from my local Lobster farm. And the best part about buying my lobster from a lobster farm is that they also steam it for me at no extra cost. It's not that I can't cook my own lobster, it's just that if given the choice, I'd rather not.
Swap It Tip: If you don't live near the coast and don't have access to live lobster, you could use lump crab meat, cooked shrimp or even imitation crab instead. Ingredients: Cook corn in boiling water for about 4-5 minutes; set aside to cool. Chop chilled lobster meat from tails and claws into large bite sized chunks; add to the bowl. Place lettuce leaves on two plates. Farro with Feta Cucumbers and Sun-dried Tomatoes. This salad combines farro with Mediterranean ingredients such as cucumbers, lemon juice, feta and mint for a delicious salad you can enjoy as a side dish, or even for lunch! This would be perfect to bring to a potluck or BBQ this Memorial Day weekend! I'm in love with farro these days and I have been having so much fun cooking with it lately.
Farro is an ancient Italian grain that has been rediscovered and is becoming quite popular in the US and throughout Europe. It's a great source of fiber, protein and iron, with a nutty flavor and chewy texture. It's wonderful in salads, side dishes and even soups. The pearled variety is as easy to cook as boiling pasta, takes only about 15-20 minutes. Here in New York I can easily find farro in any natural foods market but I realize some of you may not be as lucky, so if you can't find farro where you live you could use barley, quinoa, whole wheat couscous or even whole grain elbow macaroni in it's place.

Basque Vegetable Rice Recipe. Low Calorie Banana Bread - Banana Bread Recipe. This low calorie banana bread is a tweaked version of my mother’s banana bread recipe, which originally called for far more sugar and butter. The applesauce serves two purposes by replacing half of the butter, and adding sweetness since the sugar is cut in half. The bread turns out wonderfully moist, and fills the whole house with its mouth-watering aroma while baking.
