Early Summer Salad of Mixed Steamed Potatoes, Sugar Snap Peas,Asparagus, Radishes and Egg with Raspberry Vinaigrette

Exactly as the title describes.  To make the raspberry vinaigrette push thawed raspberries through a fine sieve.  Mix the raspberry juice/puree with red wine vinegar, canola oil, salt and pepper and just enough sugar to make it slightly sweet.

Southeast Asian Style Salad with Sweet Chili and Lime Dressing and Pork Belly

This salad is made with rice noodles vermicelli, fresh mint leaves, fresh cilantro, red onion, carrot, cucumber, romaine lettuce and peanuts.  The dressing is sweet chili sauce, lime juice and fish sauce.  You could top this with any kind of meat, or tofu.  I braised pork belly in soy, ginger, and garlic and then seared it until crispy.
