Although your guests may argue that this is not a “real” potato salad (of course, there is no mayonnaise) a single bite should settle the score. This bright, vinegary side dish has been known to take center stage at my barbeques, so be sure to serve it alongside hearty entrees that will stand on their own.
Sometimes I feel like getting a little fancy, and a whole roasted duck fits the bill. Don’t let it intimidate you, though. Roasting a duck is just like roasting a chicken, and no, it’s not absolutely necessary to crack open an actual coconut to make this recipe. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, give this one a try. I think you’ll be pleased with the results.
If you asked me my favorite thing about summer, you could be sure that my answer would involve the words “grilling” and “pizza”. Grilled pizza is an excellent easy supper, especially when you’re cooking with friends. Go get some pre-made, uncooked dough and a few of your favorite ingredients and dive head-first into your relationship with the grill. In the pizza above, a simple red sauce, some prosciutto, porcini mushrooms and fresh mozzarella make a great dinner. Or, if you’re feeling less traditional, try out my other grilled pizza suggestions.
