GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH TAHINI DRESSING
Start up the grill for a crowd-pleasing platter of vegetables from the garden or farm stand. Take care to keep the fire medium-hot, so you can cook the vegetables without letting them become scorched or blackened. A bit of char is nice, of course, but don't try for perfect grill marks. Remove vegetables from the grill when they are just done. They're topped with a garlicky, lemony tahini dressing that serves as a perfect accompaniment.

WARM BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE WITH FRESH MIXED GREENS
Now everyone has had a blue cheese dressing ... everyone has had a blue cheese vinaigrette ... everyone has had their classic salad. Well my version ... this is a simple quick and classic taste, but just a bit different. A warm vinaigrette. Fresh greens (I prefer a mix of spinach and romaine, but you can use your favorite. Don't worry, it works with any good greens.) Dole has a great European blend of Endive, Romaine, Iceberg, Spinach and Radicchio which I love. Then some sauteed onions and fresh tomatoes. A crunchy topping and you are set.

MIXED GREENS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce. This salad is our favorite to serve with a baked chicken casserole. It's also perfect for potlucks-just toss the dressing with vegetables right before serving.
