Hint of the Orient Broccoli Chicken Salad

Wow. This and the quinoa salad were really neck to neck. What a great use of the peanut vinaigrette and broccoli slaw. We can see how this is a hit at cookouts and potlucks.

Greek Shrimp Salad 

Considering that cucumbers and tapenade keep fairly well, this is a quick but very yummy and satisfying treat. Especially stuffed into mini pizzas.
