Keeping It Cool:
This summer, all I feel like eating is fruit and salad.
This is my current catnip:

Mesclun Salad with Citrus Dressing
6 cups mesclun (arugula, frisee, radicchio)
2 Tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon orange juice
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Combine mesclun and basil in a large bowl. Combine lemon juice, orange juice, oil, sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well with a whisk (this dressing may be made a day ahead and kept in the frig). Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Serve at once. Yum!
