BALSAMIC ASPARAGUS SALAD
For this asparagus salad, allow enough time to let the flavors blend for at least an hour. That's one of the secrets to why it tastes so delicious! If you're short on time, use 1/2 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette instead of making it from scratch. -Dolores Brigham, Inglewood, California

BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE PASTA SALAD
I have been working on this most of the summer. I am using a balsamic vinaigrette called Cheltam House. Most definitely a sweeter vinaigrette than most! I have never liked "dry" pasta salad--I prefer most pasta salads mayo-based, but I love this salad dressing and wanted to try it on something other than a lettuce salad. I also prefer more veggies than pasta, so adjust the pasta to your style. I also hate soggy cheese and tomatoes in any salad, so I only make enough to eat in one sitting.

Steps:
- Clean and chop all veggies.
- Boil pasta till al dente.
- Add any veggies that you prefer lightly cooked to boiling pasta in the last 3 minutes of boiling (mine would be asparagus and carrots).
- Drain pasta/veggies and rinse in cold water to stop cooking.
- Add all veggies to pasta and mix.
- Add ham.
- Pour balsamic vinaigrette onto the pasta and mix--you can use less than the whole bottle but I prefer mine "soupy".
- Serve immediately with the Gouda sprinkled over the top.

CRISPY TOFU WITH BALSAMIC TOMATOES
You don't need to fry tofu to get it crisp-edged and golden brown. Drizzling it with a mix of cornstarch and oil, then roasting it will deliver a closely crunchy approximation that won't splatter oil across your countertop. Here, the tofu is roasted alongside balsamic-glazed cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic and red onions, all of which caramelize as they cook. Top everything with a handful of fresh herbs, then serve it over rice, quinoa or another grain for an easy, plant-based meal. Note that the recipe serves only two to three. To double it, use two sheet pans and add a few extra minutes to the cook time.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange tofu slices on a clean kitchen towel or on paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel (or paper towels) and place a flat cutting board or baking pan on top. If your cutting board or pan is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 15 minutes, and up to 45 minutes.
- Transfer tofu to a cutting board and cut slabs into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides of the tofu with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, cornstarch, garlic powder (if using) and 1/2 teaspoon of the oregano. Add tofu to cornstarch mixture and gently toss until tofu is evenly coated. Dump tofu onto one side of the prepared sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing to combine.
- Arrange vegetables on other side of the prepared sheet pan. Bake until tofu is crisp and golden brown, and tomatoes are condensed, 25 to 35 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip tofu and toss vegetables while keeping the tofu and veggies separate.
- To serve, sprinkle cilantro on top and drizzle with balsamic and oil, if you'd like.
