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.

This is a lovely light salad. Gently sauteed scallops, still warm from the pan, are presented on a plate with watercress, corn and shredded carrots that have been tossed with a mustard vinaigrette. Makes two elegant salads.

Tangy pickled onions and creamy avocados add a surprisingly savory bite to this crisp fruit salad. When served in a pretty martini glass, it makes a stunning first course.

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.

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.
