Okay all you burger connoisseurs, here's one to try. My long time friend, Amanda, gave me this recipe. I have yet to follow a recipe to the letter, so I'll put it as it is written and anything I "tweeked" will have an asterisk next to it. Original Source: Pepperplate (www.pepperplate.com)

A light summer time salad. The peppermint really gives it a refreshing taste. Use it as a side for a picnic or just pack it in your lunch. Source: Food website (http://greek.food.com/recipe/greek-orzo-salad-222963)

Quinoa is a grain that has a nutty flavor. It is great to use in salads, such as this recipe. It’s light but filling. Make a big batch and use it for lunch.

This is a Middle Eastern bread salad. Torn, baked pita bread is combined with mixed fresh veggies and a lemon vinaigrette. Keep the left over pita’s in an air tight container, separate from the salad and the leftovers are even better! If you want it a little heartier, add a couple slices of chicken. To save a few calories bake the pita without the olive oil.
