Warm Quinoa Salad with Persian Lime

Persian limes are rock-hard, brown dried little orbs. They give off a great citrusy, sweet, and sort of barnyard scent that you sometimes find in wine — and which I happen to like a lot. Wondering, as we were, what the heck to do with them, we were overjoyed to see this simple and fun little recipe by Yotom Ottolenghi, author of Plenty.

Summer Tomato and Grilled Shrimp Salad

This salad is ridiculously easy to make, strikes a just-right summery and savory balance, and keeps you from having to actually cook anything in the kitchen in the blistering heat of August.

Rhubarb Salad with Fennel and Goat Cheese

The rhubarb salad recipe below is simple, with a nice contrast of sweet and tart flavors, and the crunch of walnuts and fennel playing nicely off the smooth, creamy chèvre. Plus, it took at most 20 minutes to put together, and after a hard day, there isn’t much better than a quick, tasty meal.
