You all know the special love I feel for the Hawaiian Islands, with their turquoise warm Pacific Ocean and beautiful beaches. From my home in California the islands are within a relatively easy reach. You still have to get on a plane, but for less than five hours, which is enough time for a good read and a little snooze. My goal is to post about all the islands I have visited over the last 30 years. Click here to continue reading about my trip to Wakiki and some new eating places I discovered. This farro salad is perfect for any picnic, barbecue or a healthy lunch for work. Enjoy ! Click here for the recipe . I am making my German-American green bean and potato salad for an upcoming party. It's a tasty salad made with a warm oil and vinegar dressing. I like to serve this salad with baked salmon and romesco sauce on the side. Click here for the recipe This is one of my favorite salads that I have made for many years. If green asparagus is no longer available, you can use roasted eggplant. The recipe is from the original Greens cook book from the restaurant of the same name in San Francisco's historic Ford Mason. It has pioneered vegetarian cooking since the 1970s. I love it. It's a real treat and so is this salad. Click here for the recipe.

I hope you stay cool David. Honolulu is a large city and a mix of so many different cultures. My favorite island is Kauai.

You are so sweet Teagan , I always appreciate your comments. The potato salad with all the veggies is really good. I put a warm dressing on it. I hope that one day you will visit the islands again.

They were some people from New York that did not like the 10 hour long flight. I understand!

It's been (literally 2/3 of a lifetime since I've been to Waikiki! Way too long. I have made it to the big island in the past few years and may go again this winter. Which is the perfect time for summer salads! GREG

Greg, I love the big Island, it is the opposite of the hustle and bustle that one finds in Waikiki.

Oh, I love summer salads! We are planning a picnic with friends this coming weekend, and it's really just an excuse to make a bunch of summer salads. Well, that and burgers, of course! :-) And thanks for the Waikiki photos...I've never been, but I want to visit for sure!

When the summer heat arrives in Florida, I'm very happy having a salad every day. Your German potato and green bean salad would be great with some simple grilled chicken.

My potato salad would be perfect with any grilled chicken or your lamb kebabs.

Ah, Hawaii. I've never been to Waikiki - we've been to the other island, with Kauai our favorite. We actually eloped to Maui 36 years ago,and the islands are where my husband's soul lives. Me, not so much. Beautiful place, of course, but we've been so many times I've been working on getting him elsewhere in warm climates. Sitting in the sun is not my favorite thing to do, and we've nearly killed ourselves multiple times hiking on muddy slopes in Kauai!!! Love your post.

Kauai is also my favorite island. I remember when they didn't have a traffic light on the entire island.

Lucky you and such a fun time following you along on social media with all of your travels. Salads in this warm weather really hit the spot and your farro salad is a super fun grain with lots of interesting textures and flavors. Can't wait to try it.
