Do you like bacon, remoulade sauce and greens? Then you will like this. If you don't love collards or chard, substitute any other green leaf veggie.
Read MoreSpicy Barbecue Sauce

Tom and I found a version of this fantastic recipe years ago and have been adapting it to our taste ever since. This is fiery, so if you want less heat, reduce the amount of hot paprika and/or cayenne.

/
I've never been a coleslaw fan, but I do like the idea of thinly sliced veggies in a tangy, creamy dressing. The crisp, crunchy freshness of Granny Smith apples, celery and fennel is infinitely pleasing, especially when dressed with a refreshing aioli infused with celery leaves and fennel fronds. This is a great summer salad; hearty enough to be a simple lunch when paired with some great bread and/or some grilled shrimp, or a terrific start to dinner on the patio.

This is a scrumptious salad great for a picnic or an easy summer dinner. The friend who gave me the recipe served this with steamed, undressed potatoes (fun to use colorful fingerlings), steamed veggies (green beans, etc), fresh tomatoes, couscous, etc as the marinade is tasty and plentiful!
