This is to go with the Teriyaki Chicken Burgers with Swiss and Grilled Pineapple. I briefly considered doing a pasta salad but who wants all those carbohydrates when you are out in the water? I tried to keep it on the light side.

It rained all day the other day and my boyfriend had to work all day in it and came home soaked. He said he wanted soup, even thought its summer. Well, I thought of this little trick I do to make "homemade" soup if I have no time.

Chef Don Jakubowski of Kohler Waters Spa in Kohler, Wisconsin, created this flavorful starter salad that delivers more than a burst of color. The spinach packs beta-carotene and lutein for healthy eyes; the raspberries, oranges and carrots add fiber; and the red bell pepper offers vitamin C. Best of all, the prep time is a mere 20 minutes.
