Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Combine crushed red pepper, mustard and about 2 tablespoons oil in a small dish. Slather the mixture over the skin of the chicken. Place chicken face down in a nonstick skillet. Set loose foil over chicken then a plate or smaller pan on top and weigh it down with a brick or heavy cans. Place pan over medium to medium-high heat and cook. After 18 minutes flip the chicken to get some color on the other side. Reduce the heat from medium to medium-low and cook for another 2 minutes, until cooked through. Remove weight, turn chicken over and sprinkle with chopped hot peppers then douse with pepper juice and top with parsley.
- While chicken cooks, transfer the marmalade to a microwaveable dish; give it a zap just to loosen it up. Remove from the microwave and whisk together the marmalade and poppy seeds and vinegar then stream in 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Toss cucumbers, tomatoes and greens with the dressing and season with salt and pepper.
- Turn broiler on.
- Place bread under broiler and broil until charred or toasted. Remove from the broiler and rub with cut garlic, drizzle with olive oil and rub bread in the pan juices after the chicken comes out.
- Serve chicken with salad and soaked bread.

HOT PEPPER SALAD
A fresh and spicy salad that is sure to become a staple on your table! It's the craziest thing: I would never eat raw onions, I dislike spicy foods, and I don't enjoy tomatoes. Yet this salad, simple in its execution, at this point is heritage status in my family. My sister created this years ago on a whim, and it has graced our tables eat least weekly since. If you've had this at any of our homes ever, you know! This baby always gets a second date: callbacks for the recipe are an unexpected result of simple flavours - the perfect bomb for basic proteins.

Steps:
- Place the peppers directly on the burner of a gas stove over high heat or on a grill. Just as each section turns puffy and black, turn the peppers with tongs to prevent overcooking. (If you don't have a gas stove, place the peppers on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Spread peppers on a baking sheet and let cool.
- When peppers are cool enough to handle, halve peppers crosswise and remove stems, ribs, and seeds; scrape away charred skin. Slice peppers into 1-inch-thick strips and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
- Using the flat side of a large knife, crush garlic. Sprinkle garlic with salt and continue crushing with the flat side of the knife until a paste is formed. Add to bowl with peppers, along with capers and vinegar. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well combined. Let salad stand at room temperature until ready to serve.
- To serve salad, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with more oil, if desired. Garnish with olives and basil.

GREEN AND RED PEPPER SALAD
Peppers grown in abundance throughout the Mediterranean. This salad from Tunisia and Morroco uses them to their best advantage with roasting - a preparation that heightens their natural sweetness. You can serve this as a first course salad or the centerpiece of a lunch or light dinner.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the peppers cut-side down on a baking sheet with a lip or a baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn peppers over and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Repeat previous step two more times. Total baking time is 25 minutes.
- Remove tray from oven and cover with a clean dishtowel for 10 minutes. The peppers should be soft and tender and you can easily slip off the skins.
- Cut the green peppers into a 1/4 inch dice. Slice the red pepper halves in half (now they will be quarters) and reserve.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and stir for a minute, then add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the green peppers, lower the heat a bit and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, cumin and cayenne and mix well. Cook an additional 6 minutes looking for the mixture to loose some of its moisture.
- Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk.
- To assemble your salad, arrange the red pepper quarters on a serving platter -- a la spokes on a wheel or flower petals. Its fine if the overlap a bit. Drizzle dressing over the red peppers. Spoon the green pepper-tomato mixture into the center -- allowing some to casually spill over.
- Alternately, you can arrange this on single serving platters with 2 red pepper quarters in a V-shape and the green pepper-tomato mixture placed where the two strips join together.
- This salad can be served chilled or at room temperature.

GREEK PEPPER SALAD
My DBF made this for me the night of our first date. I know, I know... awwww. OK, moving on... He served it with baked brie and chardonnay. It was so good I kept coming back! We now eat it on special occassions. Sometimes I will make it, but I still contend that it isn't as good as when he makes it. It can be served immediately after preparation, but letting it sit an hour or so allows the flavors to blend. Hope this brings happy memories for you too!

HOT CHICKEN SALAD
This quintessential American casserole epitomizes timeless comfort food. The "hot" in this chicken salad refers to temperature, not spice. This casserole takes the components of a classic chicken salad, tops it off with crunchy classic potato chips and bakes in the oven until warmed through. While the filling and toppings vary by region and recipe, the main ingredients, like the version here, include cooked chicken, celery, mayonnaise, grated cheese and slivered almonds. You can poach your own chicken or save time and use a cut up rotisserie or poached chicken. Hot chicken salad does precisely what is asked of a casserole: to soothe, lift up and spread joy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack positioned in the center.
- Place the chicken, celery, mayonnaise, Cheddar, almonds, lemon juice and onion salt in a large bowl and mix to combine well. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper as needed. The amount will depend on how seasoned your chicken is.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to a 3-quart (9-by-13-inch) shallow baking dish. Spread it out evenly and top with the crushed potato chips. Add more chips if needed to cover the top.
- Bake uncovered until the chips are golden brown and the mixture is warmed through and bubbling lightly at the bottom, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For a milder salad, use sweet peppers like bell peppers. For a spicier salad, use hotter peppers like chili peppers or habaneros. Adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on your desired spice level.
- Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven, on the grill, or over an open flame.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: If you don't want your salad to be too spicy, remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before slicing them. This is where most of the heat is concentrated.
- Marinate the peppers: Marinating the peppers in a flavorful vinaigrette or dressing before assembling the salad helps to infuse them with extra flavor.
- Add other vegetables: To make your salad more filling and nutritious, add other vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, or corn.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or mint add a bright, refreshing flavor to the salad. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the top before serving.
- Serve immediately: Hot pepper salad is best served immediately after it is made. The peppers will start to lose their heat and flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Hot pepper salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. By following these tips, you can make a salad that is both flavorful and spicy. So, fire up the grill or oven and get roasting!
