Green Apple and Onion Salad

Makes 4 servings (1 cup fruits and vegetables per person)

Spiced Lentils

• This is a great summer recipe -- it can be made in advance and served cold.
• Spiced lentils can be served as a side dish, a sandwich filler, or in a salad.
• I like the way the salt brings out the sweetness of the wine vinegar.
• I only use French lentils for this recipe, because they hold their shape and have a nice color. Some say they also have a different flavor.  I imagine you could use ordinary lentils for this recipe but you need to watch them closely so they do not become mushy. Read about lentils and see photos of different varieties here.

Wild Rice and Cranberry Salad

In my grocery store, fresh cranberries are only available in the fall, so this is a true seasonal recipe -- a rarity in this day and age!
