Pesto Pasta Caprese Salad
The traditional Caprese salad is modified to pasta form. The mozzarella used is a fresh mozzarella, if you use the brick style, it will not be the same. If you can't find the pearlini mozzarella, use the cieglini and cut it in half. Regular rotini pasta can be used but the cooking time will be different.

Heirloom Tomato Salad with Rosemary
During the summertime, farmers markets have a great selection of heirloom tomatoes for a reasonable price. This is great as a cold salad, or for a different twist, grill straight on the BBQ for a warm but fresh side dish.
Grilled Mongolian Pork Chops
These marinated Mongolian pork chops can be cooked any way you like, but for the true experience, you will want to cook these on a charcoal grill. For me, it's the smokiness that brings all these flavors together.
