Chicken SaladMy mother and father make the best chicken salad. It’s a joint effort; my dad assembles the ingredients, while my mom makes the dressing. It’s not exactly your standard chicken salad. They like to include chopped apple, for a sweet note, and also chopped green olives, for their tangy saltiness. -

Key Lime Mango Crab Cake SaladSummer fruits are hands-down THE BEST! Say what you will about autumn’s apples and pears (and no – pumpkin is not a fruit). Yes, citrus is glorious in the winter because it’s the only bright spot of sunshine that has a hope of peaking through a gray February day. Rhubarb is a tell-tale herald of spring in a novelty-fruit-kind-of-way. But summer wins with stone fruits like plums, nectarines, cherries and peaches, melons of all variety, berries so deep-red, sweet and juicy, you need to eat them with a bib. And mangoes. Always mangoes. So perfumed, so honey-sweet and so versatile. Like in this Key Lime Mango Crab Cake Salad. A summery salad with bites of mango, heavenly crab cakes, and tangy dressing! -
