GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CORN, PEPPERS, AND TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken:
• In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the orégano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
• Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
• In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
• In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the orégano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.

• Make Dressing: combine lime juice, olive oil, zest, garlic, cream, 1/2t salt and 1/4t pepper in a bowl or mason jar and whisk/shake to combine.
• Roast your peppers until they are a nice even char on all sides. (You can do this on a grill, under the broiler or I like to roast them directly on gas stovetop.) Place your roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. .
• Once the peppers have cooled, scrape the skin off, take the seeds out, remove the ribs (if you desire less heat) and cut into strips/dice. Place in a large bowl.
• While waiting for peppers to cool. Cut both the corn and flour tortillas into half and then into thin strips.
• Add oil, cumin, salt and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Add tortilla strips and toss to coat. .

• Place the tomato salad on plates and top with tortilla strips. Serve immediately. (If you let it set to long the salt will pull all the juice out of your tomatoes).
• Optional additions: roasted corn, diced or fried avocado, grilled chicken/pressed tofu (marinated in the dressing), queso fresco.

SPICED CHICKPEA SALAD WITH TAHINI AND PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Make the chickpeas: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pour the chickpeas into a small baking dish, about 6 inches by 8 inches. The chickpeas should be crowded together in a thick layer, not spread out. Pour in olive oil just until chickpeas are covered. (This will look like a lot, but don't worry: It forms part of the dressing.)
• Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and 2 big pinches each of salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine. Bake until oil is bubbling around the chickpeas and they are turning reddish-brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, make tahini sauce: Pour tahini into a bowl and whisk in lemon juice and garlic. The tahini will thicken and clump. Slowly whisk in warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce becomes smooth, creamy and pourable. Taste and season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice, if desired. Set aside
• Cook the greens: Place a large frying pan over medium heat and drizzle lightly with olive oil. When hot, add the greens in batches, along with a big pinch of salt. Stir until wilted and tender and set aside.
• When ready to serve, in a large bowl, gently mix chickpeas and their cooking oil with the cooked greens, half the pita chips, and the chopped herbs. Mound chickpea mixture in 4 shallow bowls. Divide cucumber slices around chickpeas. Drizzle thickly with half the tahini sauce and scatter remaining pita chips on top. Place a lemon wedge on the side and serve, passing extra tahini sauce at the table.

BURRATA SALAD WITH FRIED ZUCCHINI AND VEGETABLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use a mandoline to thinly slice beets and eggplant into "chips." keeping them separate so eggplant does not turn red. Lightly drizzle with 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil and season with salt flakes. Lay out each vegetable piece on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping them.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn each slice over and continue baking until crisp and golden, watching carefully so they don't burn, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add sliced zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini begin to brown lightly. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the parsley.
• Lay out burrata and pan-fried zucchini on a serving platter. Add eggplant and beet chips. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and another turn of black pepper.
• Brush sourdough slices with remaining oil. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat until it begins to smoke. Toast sourdough slices on the hot griddle for 1 minute. Flip and toast for 1 more minute. Serve toasted sourdough with the salad.
