Dinner
Tomato Mozzarella Pesto Salad

This is so light and refreshing, and the flavors compliment each other well. This dish can be eaten as an appetizer, snack, side, for lunch, or dinner. It is similar to a caprese salad. We used pesto instead of basil leaves, and added balsamic vinegar, which pairs well with the other flavors. It is quick, easy, flavorful, and crowd pleasing.
Tuna Pita Melt

This meal hits the spot, and is deliciously satisfying. It brings a little variation to a "typical" tuna melt. The warm, toasted pita, melted cheese, hints of dill, pepper, lemon, garlic, and combination of the other ingredients makes this dish so tasty. The crunchiness of the shallot and celery is a nice addition to this meal. The leftovers are just as scrumptious.
Lemon Pesto Pasta with Asparagus

We love trying recipes with different types of pasta. This meal uses "bowtie" pasta, and brings out pops of flavor with the pesto, lemon, and balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar is optional, if you don't like balsamic vinegar, but is highly recommended because it mixes so well, and tastes great with the pasta and asparagus. Optionally add your favorite toppings to the pasta.
Chickpea Rice Salad

A flavorful blend of garlic, basil, and grapes. The arugula also provides a little peppery flavor to this meal, but it is not overpowering. The mixture of the pesto with the chickpeas tastes great. This meal will leave you feeling healthy, satisfied, and full, but not overstuffed. It provides a nice dose of fiber.
Salad Topped with Tortellini

This is more of a filling salad with the addition of the tortellini. It is a great way to add a little something extra to your salad. This is a very quick meal. The tortellini cooks fast. The warm and tender tortellini provides a nice temperature and texture contrast to the cool and crisp salad. It is very satisfying.
