GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD WITH MELON AND FETA

Steps:

• Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat the broiler. Make the fire as hot as it will get and, if using a broiler, put the rack close to the heat source.
• While the grill heats up, lightly crack the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle, or with the side of a knife on a cutting board. (Careful: They can roll around.) Put them in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan once or twice until fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl.
• Using a Microplane or other grater, grate zest from both limes straight into the bowl with coriander. Grate in the garlic (no need to wash the grater in between), then add the chile and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil.
• Pat shrimp dry, then transfer to a medium bowl and season with a pinch each salt and black pepper. Give the coriander mixture a stir, then pour half of it over the shrimp, reserving the rest for the salad. Toss shrimp to coat and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
• Cut the zested limes in half, squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice and whisk into the coriander mixture to make a dressing. Cut leftover lime into wedges.
• Arrange the shrimp in a grill basket or on skewers (or just on a sheet pan if broiling), and grill or broil shrimp until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just opaque and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and squeeze a wedge of lime all over.
• In a large bowl, combine melon, cucumber, onion, feta and herbs. Pour in coriander dressing and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt or lime juice to taste. Top melon salad with grilled shrimp and more herbs, if you'd like.

MARINATED KALE SALAD WITH INFUSED BALSAMIC GOLDEN RAISINS &

Steps:

• First, take the golden raisins and pour them into a tupperware container with the pear infused balsamic vinegar and let them soak overnight. Make sure the vinegar covers the raisins completely.
• Next, chop up the kale to small almost shredded like pieces. Sprinkle a little sea salt onto your hands and lightly massage the kale to start the wilting process. This will soften up the leaves a little bit. Next in another bowl wisk the maranade of grapeseed oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the chopped kale greens. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, drain the remainder of the balsamic vinegar from golden raisins then and add them to the kale salad. Chop the walnuts and add them to the salad. Mix ingredients together serve and enjoy.
