How about some great summer salad recipes.?

We Answered:

Well, thereâ€™s never really anything completely new under the sun, but we can get creative and see what happens: summer ingredients with some insightful new uses.

Tomato-Walnut-Mandarin salad

2 large tomatoes, preferably ripe summer heirlooms
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted in a pan
1 can mandarin orange segments

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp salt

Combine last four ingredients in a bottle. Shake to combine. Slice tomatoes and layer in a medium bowl. Top with orange slices, then scatter walnuts.

Anti-Pesto

This is a salad with the flavor of pesto. Like pesto in reverse, crossed with a Caesar salad

1 large bunch basil leaves
1 head romaine lettuce
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 oz grated Parmesan cheese

Tear romaine leaves by hand. Toss with basil leaves and pine nuts. Dress with oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with Parmesan. (Note: this has to be the good Parmesan cheese. Even if you can tolerate the dust in the green can on spaghetti, it's not going to work here.)
