Cuban Rueben
What does a guy do when he has a mess of pulled pork, a hankerin' for a Cuban sandwich, but also loves a Rueben? He makes a Cuban Rueben! A classic Cubano sandwich is roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread. It is then press-grilled to gooey deliciousness. My version is adds a Rueben twist by replacing the pickles with sauerkraut. Since I don't have access to Cuban bread, I use a par-baked French baguette.

Cucumber & Red Onion Salad
I'm sure that most people have tried some form of this summer salad. Cucumbers and red onion are a great combination, and the sweet and sour dressing basically pickles them. I've added pimento and a combination of herbs that helps to give the salad a little added depth of flavor. The salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats and other summer fare. This is best made the day before you plan to serve it, but a few hours ahead will work if you are in a hurry.

Cucumber & Roasted Fennel Salad
In my ongoing partnership with Hidden Valley® I'm bringing you a great fresh salad that is a little off the beaten path. Winter is in the books and it's time to get to grill. Most people don't associate the grill with salad, but fire-roasted veggies bring a welcome flavor and texture dimension to what might otherwise be a pedestrian dish. I love cucumber salads! They are a wonderfully cool and crunchy complement to just about anything from the grill, and of course they're made for ranch.
