Guideposts: Green Bean and Grilled Peach Salad

3 ^{of 9} Green Bean and Grilled Peach Salad

Peaches add sweetness and fresh green beans add snap to create a light, healthy salad that everyone is sure to love.

5 ^{of 9} Mediterranean Lentil Salad

With most salads, you pour the dressing on at the end and coat the dish from the outside in. But with this salad, the lentils cool off in the fridge in a bath of dressing—in this case olive oil, vinegar, lemon and cumin—so that they absorb all of this wonderful flavor.

6 ^{of 9} Jicama Salad

This salad is especially healthy, as jicama (pronounced hee-ka-mah) is loaded with nutrients, including iron.

7 ^{of 9} Chipotle Salad

The sliced apples and toasted pecans will make this delicious and healthy salad a big hit with your entire family.
