Notes about Recipes in this book

• Ginger-nectarine salsa

  • Hawky on November 03, 2014

    Wonderful salsa I make every summer as soon as the nectarines are ripe. It always gets rave reviews. Good for all types of foods: meats, fish and veggies. Best used within three days.

• Orzo pilaf

  • aeader on February 27, 2017

    Quick, easy side dish with great flavor. If searching for this on My Recipes site (where Cooking Light recipes are archived) this is listed under "Lemon Oregano Lamb Chops" the recipe for orzo pilaf is listed at the bottom of the lamb chops recipe as a recommended side dish.

• Swordfish skewers with cilantro-mint pesto

  • babyfork on June 02, 2015

    I thought that this was a nice, fresh-tasting, healthy and relatively simple fish skewer to grill. Would be a good one to prep the night before for a backyard bbq. If you made extra marinade I would think you could compose the skewers and then marinade them like that before grilling.

    Made this again (this time for guests), but with swordfish steaks instead. I actually preferred this to the skewers because there is less prep. Also, good fresh swordfish isn't cheap and I hate to cut it up into little chunks when you could be grilling the whole steaks. Just used the marinade on the fish, grilled and then topped each steak with a dollop of the cilantro-mint pesto.
