FARGO — I love the relaxed pace of summer hospitality. With backyards and lake cabins now open for business, people stop by more freely and impromptu gatherings naturally follow. I hate being caught flat-footed on these occasions, and I try to keep a few simple items on hand so that I am ready whenever the call for friendship may arise. These Marinated Mozzarella Balls are the perfect answer to that call. They are quick and easy to make, wonderfully versatile and simply delicious.

FARGO — Who doesn’t love a good potato salad? The beauty of this classic side dish is its versatility, and there is no wrong way to prepare it. This Sicilian Potato Salad is a fun twist on the American mayo-based classic, featuring tender chunks of potatoes tossed with a variety of colorful vegetables, including green beans, cherry tomatoes, shallots and black olives. The salad is dressed with a tangy Italian vinaigrette to pack this salad with terrific flavor.

FARGO — Norway’s Constitution Day, known as Syttende Mai, is this Saturday, May 17, and Norwegians everywhere will be celebrating with a host of classic Norwegian dishes. Byggrynssalat, a traditional Norwegian Barley Salad, is the newest recipe in my Nordic repertoire, and I am excited for its debut at my family’s annual Viking Feast, alongside Norwegian meatballs, lefse, pickled herring, bløtkake (Norwegian cream cake) and krumkake.
