BLACK BEAN, CORN AND RED PEPPER SALAD WITH CHILE-LIME DRESSING
This recipe was in the Seattle Times August 20, 2008. It's different from other black bean and corn salads I think because of the lime juice. When I made it, I used only one can of beans and that was plenty for us. I also used garlic salt instead of regular salt. This is a very good and refreshing salad that goes well with Mexican food. I think it would also be good with a couple of fresh, seeded, and minced jalapenos added.

FRUIT SALAD WITH BLACK PEPPER DRESSING
I saw this recipe in the May edition of "Everyday with Rachael Ray". I can't wait for the summer fruits to start filling the tables at "The Pike Place Market" here in Seattle. Making this tantalizing salad will be the perfect way to celebrate that event. DeLaurentii's http://www.delaurenti.com/ at the entrance is like poking your head into Italy, what better place to buy a new bottle of Balsamic Vinegar. Can you tell...I have spring fever? sigh

Steps:
- Dressing:
- Pulse jalapeño, turmeric, ginger, garlic, cilantro, oil, lime zest, and lime juice in a food processor until smooth with a few flecks of cilantro. Transfer to a small bowl; season with salt.
- Salad assembly:
- Prepare a grill for high heat. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Let cool; cut kernels off cobs and place in a large bowl. (Or, cut kernels from cobs and char in a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high, 8-10 minutes.)
- Heat broiler. Broil peppers on a rimmed baking sheet, turning occasionally, until blackened in spots and nearly cooked through, 12-18 minutes. Let cool; cut into 1" strips, retaining as much charred skin as possible; add to corn.
- Broil tomatoes on same baking sheet, tossing once, until blackened in spots and starting to burst, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Add tomatoes, endive, and greens to corn; toss to combine. Drizzle dressing over and toss to coat; season with salt.
Tips:
- For a spicier dressing, use hotter peppers or add a pinch of chili flakes.
- If you like your dressing more tangy, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.
- For a sweeter dressing, add a spoonful of honey or maple syrup.
- If you want a creamier dressing, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
- For a more herbaceous dressing, add a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro.
- Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let the dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
