Great salad, looks elegant but is reasonably easy to put together. Loved the combination of textures, crunchy croutons, slightly spicy rocket (arugula) and perfectly dressed with just a bit of tang from the dressing.

Found this recipe on heatherchristo's blog. It looks beautiful and sounds delicious, I have all the ingredients on hand, and will have to give it a try very soon.

This is one of my favorites, and is always a hit when I bring it to potlucks.

A quick, easy yet tasty carrot salad goes well with roast, casserole or any main course.

Sugar snap peas are sweet with a lovely crispiness. We think they are probably the best vegetable now commonly available. In this recipe they are combined with wax beans and radishes along with a light lime dressing that highlights the clean crisp and sweet flavors. A perfect side dish to boost the veggie intake in any meal.

Light fluffy and cheesy. A great party in "la bouche" (the mouth). Can be made ahead and popped in the oven when you're ready to bake them up fresh. The probability is that each person will have no problem consuming 4 per serving!

Toasting adds strong nutty flavor into quinoa, roasted walnuts add another layer of nutty flavor and texture. It is a very flavorful and light side dish that goes well with any main course.

Sauteed mushrooms toss mix greens.

Tender-crisp green beans added the nice crunch to the salad. The peppery arugula and the final touch of creamy goat cheese were the musts. Definitely will make it again!

Yum.
