Salad

Bulgur and Squash Kefteh

This mixture can be formed into patties, but it is just as wonderful and a lot easier to spread in a baking dish, served by the spoonful.

Grilled Seafood Salad

This seafood salad, sizzled on a grill (or in a grill pan or under the broiler), delivers lightly smoky swagger and, thanks to radicchio, a welcome edge of bitterness. A substantial salad, it can be a curtain raiser or part of a buffet for summer dinner at home. It might even be carried to a picnic. But it begs to be served a bit warm.

Grated Carrot Salad With Dates and Oranges

The influences here are Moroccan. The orange juice brings out the sweetness of the carrots. The juices combine in a delectable way, the salad sweetened all the more by the dates and cinnamon.

Cucumber and Radish Raita

This can be spicy or not, depending on what you are serving it with and your taste for heat. Cucumber raita (without the radishes) is a classic accompaniment to curries, but I like it on its own and spooned over grains. It’s also very nice with salmon.
