Summer is here and the weather is perfect for BBQ-ing.  Well, maybe not this weekend, it has been nothing but a succession of storms around here, but there will be plenty of opportunities to fire-up the barbie, throw on some marinated steaks and kebabs and whip-up some sensational salads.  Here’s one we enjoyed last Christmas with our baked ham. It’s light and fresh and I love the combination of the sweetness of apples and the crunch of the pecans.<\/p>\n
