Steps:
- For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt on a small rimmed baking sheet and toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes have popped and are beginning to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- For the spicy honey: Meanwhile, combine the honey, Calabrian chile, salt and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
- For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk together the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bread and grill until golden brown and toasted, about 4 minutes per side. Divide the ricotta among the bread slices. Top with the tomatoes and drizzle with spicy honey. Scatter the basil over the top.
SWEET AND SPICY FRENCH DRESSING
A Catalina-style dressing recipe that's been in our family for years. I can't count the times I've been asked for this recipe; it's way better than store-bought dressing. Works well for taco salad or any lettuce salad.

SARASOTA'S SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD SANDWICH
I love this shrimp salad because it is lighter than other versions. Sometimes, it seemed all I tasted was mayonnaise which is why I like this version so much. It is creamy with a bit of a kick. Serve on croissants with sliced avocado, tomato and creamy cheddar cheese. This can also be served on whole wheat bread, but I prefer the croissants. I like to serve this with a bowl of soup for an easy dinner or lunch. Frozen shrimp will work fine for this. But if you can get fresh even better. My grocery store will steam them for me as I shop with a spicy cajun seasoning which is perfect for this. Or I bring them home and steam them with some Old bay or even in beer.

Steps:
- Shrimp Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the mayonnaise, yogurt (you can use all mayonnaise if you want, but I love the light flavor the yogurt adds. Also, if you like your salad a bit creamier, just add a bit more mayonnaise or yogurt. Stir in the lime juice, chipotle, salt and pepper and add in the cilantro, celery, olives, onion and diced shrimp. Toss well to combine.
- Sandwiches -- Just pile high. Shrimp salad, then avocado, tomato and cheese. Now croissants have plenty of butter in them, so just spray your grill pan or saute pan with a little non stick spray. If using whole wheat bread, I like to butter each side of the bread slices and then grill. If you don't want to grill, this is also just as good served cold with lettuce.
- When grilling I weigh them down slightly but not too much and grill just until the bread or croissant is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Using a heaving pan is a simple way to weigh them down.
- One NOTE: These are great served open face as well.
- Just Enjoy!

SARASOTA'S ROASTED TOMATO, ONION AND MUSHROOM SALAD
Crisp romaine topped with warm roasted vegetables makes this a wonderful salad. Most people are used to the "standard" salad with chilled vegetables and a dressing. This really just just gives a new taste to salads. A great twist on classic salad ingredients. And please feel free to add local fresh ingredients. Zuchinni, summer squash, asparagus, beans, or any local fresh ingredients of your choice.

Steps:
- Romaine -- This to me is key -- I rough chop the romaine (not a final chop for the salad) and place in a large bowl with ice water. Yes, ice cubes and water. I want it icy cold so the romaine is very crisp. Just 15 minutes or so as the vegetables roast. This gets the lettuce nice and crispy for the salad which to me really makes this salad the best. Once the vegetables are done, remove the lettuce and drain well, dry off with just paper towels, and chop further for the salad and set to the side in a large bowl to be dressed.
- Vegetables -- In a large bowl add the mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well. Heat the oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, foil will work just fine as well. Add the vegetables to the baking of cookie sheet and cook 15-20 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften and onions are slightly brown.
- Dressing -- As the vegetables cook, make the dressing. I like to use a small tupperware or small measuring cup. Just add all the ingredients, mix well, and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium heat. DONE!
- Salad -- Just add the roasted warm vegetables to the chilled lettuce, warm dressing and the chilled olives and mix. Serve immediately.
- Serve with a baguette toasted with melted cheese and roasted garlic. A favorite. As I roasted the vegetables, I also roasted a few garlic cloves and then I spread the soft cloves on the bread and then topped with havarti cheese and bake until melted. What a simple nice side to the warm salad.

SARASOTA'S FAVORITE CREAMY MUSTARD SALAD DRESSING
This is a great flavorful dressing made right in the blender. It makes a fair amount so you can cut the recipe in 1/2, but I make the whole recipe and then refrigerate for later in the week. I often have a small salad for lunch and this is perfect with it. I love to serve this with Recipe #413909.

SARASOTA'S BAKED TOMATOES OVER A FRESH SPINACH SALAD

Steps:
- Dressing -- In a small bowl or measuring cup, just mix the vinegar, oil, mustard, seasoning, salt and pepper. Set to the side.
- Tomatoes -- In a 13x9" pan, add just a couple tablespoons of the dressing in the bottom and set your tomato slices in it. Coat both sides well. Just let them hang out about 1 hour. You can put in the fridge, but I just keep them out at room temperature which is just fine.
- Topping -- Just mix the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and slice your mozzarella for the topping on the tomatoes.
- Baking -- on a cookie or baking sheet line it with foil or parchment paper and lay out your marinaded tomato slices. Heat the oven to 425 and bake 10 minutes on the middle shelf until soft but not over done. Remove and then top with a slice of the mozzarella and then a tablespoon or so of the bread crumbs and parmesan mixture and a drizzle of olive oil. Put back in the oven for about 5 minutes until the mozzarella begins to melt and the topping gets slightly brown.
- Salad -- Just toss the salad in a bowl with the red onion, the juice of 1/2 lemon and some of the balsamic vinaigrette. NOTE: Depending on how much salad, you may have a little dressing left over. Just keep it for later, it is a great dressing.
- Plating -- Serve up the salad lightly dressed on each plate and top with a couple of the tomato slices.
- You can easily add some pan fried pancetta or bacon to the salad mix or even fresh cucumbers or mushrooms if you want. But I love just the spinach and tomatoes. ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S 7 SPICY, SWEET & TANGY GRILLING/BAKING SAUCES
These are not exact recipes, but ideas and methods. I love sauces I can brush on when grilling, baking, pan searing, broiling etc. It is a basic method of approximately ... 1/2 each of two main sauces; 1 teaspoon of 2 or 3 different spices and usually 1 other seasoning or spice to compliment, salt and pepper. It varies per sauce, but they are so easy and usually are ingredients we have on hand. It is the easiest method and such a wonderful sauce and flavor to so many dishes. Just mix in a small measuring cup and brush on. These sauces are great on seafood such as shrimp, white fish or salmon; pork chops, loins and roasts; steak, kabobs, skirt, fillets, flank; and any kind of chicken. So below some of my favorite combinations. Now there are hundreds of variations and sometimes I will add a little vinegar, more herbs etc, but this is the basic method and my favorites which I enjoy. Again, feel free to add more spices, herbs or vinegar for a kick. These are meant to be an easy, quick sauce so don't worry if you have all the ingredients - use what you have. Have fun and experiment. Again, turn ordinary chicken breasts into chipolte and raspberry glazed grilled chicken over wild rice instead of a plain Italian marinated chicken breast. It is easy, not expensive and quick. No cooking, just mix and brush on. Have fun!!

SARASOTA'S SPICY CORNBREAD SALAD
I love corn bread salad. The texture almost reminds me of a tabouleh salad but this has lots of flavor and spice. It is unique and makes a great side dish which people really enjoy but have no idea it is just cornbread. I serve this with my Margarita grilled chicken and corn on the cob. It reminds me of summer BBQ food.

Steps:
- Corn Bread -- Rough chop the corn bread. Some will be in crumbles and some in chunks. That is perfect. Put the cornbread on a baking sheet or cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours until dry and very crispy. Every 30 minutes I give it a quick toss.
- Vegetables -- In a large bowl, add the red and green peppers, onion, parsley, cilantro, scallions, garlic, jalapeno, salt and pepper and toss well. Then add in the corn bread and toss well to combine.
- Dressing -- In a small cup or measuring cup or small tupperware container, add the oil, vinegar, lime juice and chili powder. Add to the salad and lightly toss.
