I second the margarita.

Salads are a winner -- chicken salad, taboulleh, couscous, tuna salad, pasta salad, etc.

I like sauerkraut and it's health benefits. Here is a good recipe for the summer. I just made a batch and it's in the fridge.

Sauerkraut Salad:

1 quart Sauerkraut
1 green pepper
1 small Onion
1 cup celery and 1 cup shredded carrots
1 small jar pimentos
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup salad oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/3 cup water



Directions:
Rinse and drain sauerkraut. Chop green pepper, onion and celery. Mix sugar, oil, vinegar and water; stir to dissolve sugar. Add chopped vegetables, sauerkraut and pimentos.

Marinate overnight. Drain before serving.

Note: I tweaked this some, cut down on sugar and oil, added splenda in addition.
