SUMMERTIME ON THE SOUTH BEACH DIET
Summer is a great time to enjoy your South Beach Diet lifestyle. With the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables available at this time of year, it's so easy to eat healthy. Whether you shop at a local farmers' market or supermarket or enjoy the bounty of your own garden, the foods of summer naturally suit the South Beach Diet.
Since we all like to relax during these warm months, preparing food should be laid-back and fun. The easy recipes in this book help you do just that, any night of the week, whether you're eating in or making food for a picnic, barbecue, camping trip, day at the beach, or ballgame. Imagine packing a cooler with South Beach Diet Club Sandwiches (page 51), a side of Savoy Slaw with Sesame Dressing (page 88), and fresh Summer Fruit Cocktail for dessert (page 212). Add some plastic utensils, a few napkins, and a bottle of water and you're good to go!
Burgers, hot dogs, fries, and creamy potato and egg salads are on everyone's list of summer favorites, including ours, so we've updated them-- creating healthy versions that are tastier than ever. Juicy Chimichurri Burgers (page 148) are made with lean ground beef, and there are Asian Tuna Burgers (page 116) and South-of-the-Border Salmon Burgers (page 117), too. We've lightened up potato salad with a creamy yogurt dressing (page 81), and egg salad by using more egg whites than yolks (page 47). Hot dogs are dressed with a homemade tomato and pickle relish (page 158) that's sugar free and much lower in sodium than supermarket versions. For vegetarians, there are tasty Chicago-style tofu dogs (page 181), charred on the grill and topped with hot peppers, ripe tomato slices, tangy mustard, and more. You'll make delicious grilled fries using fiber-rich sweet potatoes (page 86), and refreshing Peach-Raspberry Shakes (page 230) that taste as rich as those made with ice cream. And this is just the beginning!
Along with these best-loved American summer foods, there are recipes inspired by the cuisines of warm climes around the globe. You'll find Spanish White Gazpacho (page 43), made with protein-and fiber-rich almonds; Caribbean-style drinks (pages 223 and 228); Middle Eastern grilled meatballs (page 156); and Moroccan Couscous (page 77). On hot days, you might make Summer's Bounty Greek Salad (page 66) or enjoy a simple piece of spice-rubbed chicken or fish with a side of Spanish Rice Salad with Pumpkin Seeds (page 89). For cooler days and nights, try Quick Chicken Tagine (page 134) or Southern-Style Shrimp Boil (page 96).
