Chunky Tomato and Black Olive Salad
Fresh-tasting and colorful, this salad would go well with pizza bianca or calzones. It would also be delicious tossed with penne for a quick pasta salad.
Orange Cumin Vinaigrette
Finely chopped orange sections make a wonderful addition to this dressing — use the fruit of 2 oranges.
