Apricot Gazpacho

Raw, healthy, low calorie and gluten free! This easy vegetarian soup recipe is perfect for a refreshing summer lunch and a great way to use up ripe apricots (or peaches, cherries, watermelon, and strawberries). Use less water if you prefer a thicker soup. Serve with some crispy spiced peas for the crunch or just a couple of slices of apricots. Feta would be another good choice to use as a topping.
Whipped Feta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

It makes an impressive, delicious appetizer, side or snack that couldn’t be easier to make. The combination of warm, sweet, juicy tomatoes and creamy, salty, tangy whipped feta dip is just sensational. I used some locally grown tri-coloured cherry tomatoes from our farmer market (it's even better if you grew them), but conventional red cherry tomatoes will work just fine.

Crispy Goat Cheese and Arugula Salad

Decadent pork rind-crusted goat cheese on a bed of arugula (any baby green will work though) and cherry tomatoes tossed in a light honey vinaigrette, scattered with candied pecans.
Slicing the fresh goat cheese can get a little messy, if it crumbles, just press the rounds back into the correct shape before coating with beaten egg and pork rind. The goat cheese cooked in airfryer will come out perfectly crunchy on the outside and warm, creamy on the inside.
