4. Spicy shrimp with peaches and a sweet and tangy dressing
This salad recipe features spicy shrimp with peaches in a colorful mix of sweet and spicy flavors. We also lightly toasted some fennel seeds and sprinkled these on top (which has become somewhat of an obsession lately). Ridiculously tasty!

5. Mediterranean tomato salad with manchego and a homemade pesto dressing
This fresh Mediterranean tomato salad is dressed up with some manchego cheese and a homemade pesto dressing. It uses quite a bit of olive oil so it’s best to use good quality extra virgin olive oil (here are the best Spanish olive oils to try, including where to buy them overseas).
