SPINACH SALAD WITH LEMON AND MINT



Spinach Salad With Lemon and Mint image

This salad is a snip, but then one would hardly expect a salad to cause trouble. Using a lemon rather than just lemon juice as an ingredient makes for the most fabulous salad regardless of leaves. And by all means, serve it as a starter rather than a follow-up on the main course. It is fresh, sharp, vegan and delicious.

CANTALOUPE SALAD WITH HONEY LEMON DRESSING



Cantaloupe Salad with Honey Lemon Dressing image

A good cantaloupe doesn't need much enhancement, if any, but crisp cucumbers, fresh herbs and raspberries are natural pairings that will really make the flavor sing. It's a great twist on a traditional fruit salad and holds its own as a weeknight side dish, or for a potluck or summer gathering. Cantaloupe salad will keep well in the fridge for a few days, so don't be intimidated by the servings yield - you'll want to eat it for days.
