Chickpea, Barley and Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Mint and Feta
Chickpea, Barley and Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Mint and Feta
Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut in half crosswise. Using a mandoline or a knife, cut the zucchini into thin matchsticks and place in a colander in the sink. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and massage lightly with your hands to evenly disperse the salt. Let sit for 20-30 minutes, or as long as it takes to prepare the rest of the salad. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the barley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until barley is cooked through but still pleasantly chewy, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, barley and about half of the dressing. If the barley is still very hot, let the mixture sit until just warm, stirring occasionally. Squeeze the zucchini gently to get rid of any excess moisture and add to the bowl, along with the remaining dressing and the mint. Stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Crumble the feta over the top and serve.

Sautéed Arugula with Pancetta and Garlic
Sautéed Arugula with Pancetta and Garlic
Sauté the garlic and pancetta in a large skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to crisp and turn golden. If the pancetta is lean and renders little fat, add the olive oil. Add the arugula and cook, turning occasionally, until the leaves wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Grilled Chicken, Peach and Arugula Salad
Grilled Chicken, Peach and Arugula Salad
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl until dressing is well mixed. Brush 1 teaspoon oil onto cut-side of peaches. Place peaches, cut-side down, onto grill and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer peaches to a plate. Brush remaining oil onto both sides of chicken breasts and season with salt. Cook chicken on grill until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into thin pieces and cut peaches into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Toss arugula and dressing together in a bowl. Divide dressed arugula among plates; top with peaches and chicken.
