    Strawberry Fields Forever Salad  Click here for the Strawberry Fields Forever recipe. A great spring and summer salad served when strawberries are at the peak of ripeness. Crispy greens combined with sweet berries, crunch walnuts and sharp blue cheese lightly finished with a special dressing of creamy yogurt and poppy seeds. "Berkshire blue cheese from Western Massachusetts is really good," says Follari, "but any blue cheese would do, like Gorgonzola and Maytag Blue."

    Tomato Cucumber Relish as a side dish A bit of the yellow lemon zest, mint and basil helps sharpen the taste. "Don't toss it, just mix it," Follari suggests. "Otherwise you'll lose all the centers out of the tomatoes and they starts to fall apart.”
