Take advantage of your local farmer's market to pick the freshest vegetables for salads such as this one. While you are there, look for fresh basil, too.
For perfect apple cubes: Stand the apple on your cutting board and cut down into four slabs; discard the core. Lay slabs, cut sides down, and cut into 1/2-inch slices, then crosswise into 1/2-inch cubes.
Very good and very Italian with its garlic, parsley olive oil and vinegar dressing. The potatoes are cooked, chopped, and bathed in this lovely dressing and then chilled overnight.
What a wonderful surprise the dressing is in this refreshing salad. Raspberry jam is swirled into raspberry vinegar, and then mixed with oil. This luscious dressing is tossed with the kiwi, strawberries, walnuts and spinach. Makes eight servings.
