Unusual Italian green bean salad. Garlic and mint together - what a combo! My secret vinaigrette recipe too!

Pan-fried halloumi, 3 types of beans, red onion, fresh cilantro, and mint are tossed with homemade vinaigrette for a unique salad your taste buds will love.

Green papaya is usually found in Asian, Vietnamese, and Thai salads and dishes. I've taken the crisp crunchiness of green papaya and given it a Mexican/Tex-Mex twist! My kids love it when I use a bit less cilantro and chili powder.

I always get asked for the recipe...Yummy. This serving size is good for a dinner party. Double the recipe if going to a big party.

I tried to duplicate this light, refreshing salad that my Tunisian in-laws make. I put my own 'twist' on this with the addition of lemon zest. Using colorful vegetables makes for a light salad with a beautiful presentation. Garnish with sliced hard-boiled eggs and serve with crusty baguettes.

My father used to enjoy making this when we were kids. Now I make it for potlucks, and it's a huge crowd pleaser!
