Be creative! Feel free to forge new fusions. Do you prefer balsamic over red wine vinegar? Go for it! Did you just pick up gorgeous strawberries from the market? Use them instead of oranges for this salad. Remember Pritikin Chef Anthony’s mantra: "If you like foods individually, chances are you will love them when they’re combined." It’s all about discovering new taste treats!

Always a crowd-pleaser for both Pritikin and non-Pritikin guests.

Many pickled foods have more sodium than most of us should have for the entire day. These pickled carrots and onions have zero added sodium. And certainly, branch out! This recipe works well for any firm vegetable. For veggies with softer texture, like zucchini, go ahead and boil your vinegar, water, and pickling spice, but let it cool to room temperature before pouring over your soft veggies.

Here's a new favorite at the Pritikin Longevity Center that bursts with flavor (without bursting your blood vessels). Many pickled foods have more sodium than most of us should have for the entire day. This salad, created by Pritikin's award-winning chef Anthony Stewart, has zero added sodium. Like all the dishes at Pritikin, it is a celebration for both palate and heart. The perfect fit for foodies this fall.

The perfect summer salad! Easy to make, and sure to be a hit at your next backyard party.
