A fabulously different salad that serves twenty and is beautiful in a bowl. Lots of color and taste sensations. Radicchio, fennel, watercress, and pecans are tossed with a lovely balsamic vinaigrette studded with bits of dried cranberries.

Seared Ahi Tuna with Watercress, Chile, and Ginger Salad

Thai influenced tuna steak with a light and aromatic salad. Ideal for summer. Make sure the tuna you get is a dark ruby red and not brown or gray. (Brown shows age/oxidization, gray shows ice damage.) Tuna should be served seared and red in the middle as it is much more tender and juicy. If you do not like it this way increase the cooking time in the pan or transfer tuna to a baking tray and oven cook it at gas mark 7 for around 4 minutes.

Smoked Salmon & Watercress Salad With Red Onion-Caper Vinaigrette

Submitted by: USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson 
Start with a salad of smoked salmon and watercress. Try to buy the commercial bagged watercress that already has been cleaned to speed things along, or you may substitute other mixed salad greens. (I like to make sure there are some bitter ones, such as radicchio and arugula, along with milder greens, such as butter lettuce or baby spinach.) Also, because this is such a simple salad, all the ingredients should be top-quality. So spring for the best smoked salmon you can find.

This salad is dressed with a lime vinaigrette and has lots of crunch and flavor with a little jalapeno pepper pop. It's wonderful to make in summer with fresh ingredients from the garden or farmer's market. This is great for barbeques or potlucks.

Scallops are one of the most delicious foods if seared properly, and the addition of peppers and onions complements them quite well. Serve with couscous or rice for a delicious meal.

Fancy, fancy polenta. First the corn and parmesan polenta is whipped up. Then the polenta is cut into triangles, fried, topped with thick slices of tomato and a sprinkling of chevre and broiled. This glorious triangle is served on a bed of kale.
