Watermelon, Mâche, and Pecan Salad
"Every time I serve this, I get lots of compliments. It is very refreshing and easy to make. However,you must have a sweet watermelon and fresh mache. I have used gorgonzola and chevre successfully. I like the hot pepper jelly better than the mild...just gives it an extra kick." —haikuchef

Smoked Gouda and Penne Pasta Salad
"This was very easy and suprisingly delicious. The garlic did not seem like enough seasoning however once mixed with the sundried tomatoes, smoked gouda and arugula it was perfect. Took it to the office today and not one bite was left. Give this a try instead of your potato salad this summer." —Kgplough
