    Instructions

    Black Bean and Pasta Salad

    Ingredients

    • 1 lemon, for juice
    • ¼ cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
    • 12 oz tri-color rotini pasta
    • 1 (15.25-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 (8.5-oz) jar julienne-cut, sun-dried tomatoes in oil, undrained
    • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
    • 2 tablespoons capers
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper

    Steps

      1. Bring water to boil for pasta. Squeeze lemon for juice (2 tablespoons); chop parsley.
      2. Cook and drain pasta following package instructions. Combine remaining ingredients (including ¼ cup oil from tomatoes) in large bowl.
      3. Stir pasta into bean mixture; toss gently to coat evenly. Chill 30 minutes. Serve. (Makes 8 servings.)

    Sweet-and-Sour Salmon

    Ingredients

    • Nonstick aluminum foil
    • 3 lemons
    • ¼ cup balsamic glaze
    • 1 teaspoon spicy steak seasoning
    • Large zip-top bag
    • 4 salmon fillets; skin removed (1 ½ lb)

    Steps

      1. Preheat broiler; line baking sheet with foil. Squeeze 2 lemons for juice (¼ cup); cut 1 lemon into wedges. Combine lemon juice, balsamic glaze, and seasoning in bag; shake to blend. Add salmon (wash hands); seal bag tightly and shake to coat salmon evenly. Let stand 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) to marinate.
      2. Place salmon on baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from heat for 4–5 minutes and until fish is 145°F (or opaque and separates easily). Squeeze juice from lemon wedges over salmon; serve.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Complete your meal with steamed broccoli, green tea, and fresh fruit.
    • The fish recipe also works well on the grill; grill 2–3 minutes on each side or until 145°F. The pasta salad can be prepared the night before to really develop the flavor.
