Grilled Swordfish with Mint-Cucumber Salsa
For accompaniments, buy your favorite potato salad and steam some zucchini. Have lemonade and brownies afterward.

Chopped cilantro in the dressing and whole leaves mixed with the spinach add a double dose of cilantro flavor to this salad.
Spiced Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Mango Salsa
This recipe was created to accompany Garlic, White Cheddar and Chipotle Mashed Potatoes.

Lamb Moussaka with Currants
This eggplant and lamb casserole, a taverna staple, is known the world over as the Greek national dish. In this lightened version, it's topped with yogurt rather than the customary béchamel sauce. (Moussaka is often made with beef instead of lamb.)
