GUACAMOLE SALAD

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, yellow pepper, black beans, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and lime zest in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper and pour over the vegetables. Toss well.
• Just before you're ready to serve the salad, fold the avocados into the salad. Check the seasoning and serve at room temperature.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH HALLOUMI AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a large rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the Aleppo, coriander, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the hot baking sheet, spread in an even layer and roast until browned in spots and crisp-tender, tossing once halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together the shallot, raisins, preserved lemon, vinegar and honey with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Prepare the halloumi: Cut the halloumi into 3/4-inch cubes and pat dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high. Add the halloumi cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. (You'll want to be fairly attentive, flipping frequently, as you want to make sure the cubes toast without burning or melting.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with pepper.
• Toss the arugula with half the vinaigrette until lightly coated and divide among plates or shallow bowls. Top with the cauliflower, halloumi and avocado. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

GUACAMOLE SALAD

Steps:

• Chop cilantro coarsely, place in medium bowl.
• Cut jalapeño pepper in half (remove and discard seeds); chop finely and add to bowl.
• Chop onion; add to bowl.
• Chop tomato; add to bowl. ( I don't like tomatoes so I leave this out, and it is still fabulous without it!).
• Stir in onions, salt, pepper, and cumin.
• Cut avocados into quarters; then cut into bite-size pieces. (Score the inside of the avocados in a crisscross pattern through the flesh, just down to the skin. Flatten skin slightly and slide knife across the bottom, next to the skin, to remove the cubes.) Stir into mixture until blended.
• Squeeze juice of one-half lime (about 2 teaspoons) into salad; mix gently until blended.
• Serve over shredded lettuce.
