• Combine the chopped eggs, herbs, celery and red onion in a large bowl, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss with the egg mixture.
• Line plates or a platter with arugula, top with the egg salad and serve.

AVOCADO SALAD WITH HERBS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Reserve a cup of whole cilantro leaves; finely chop the rest of the leaves and tender stems. Transfer chopped leaves to a medium bowl.
• Reserve a cup of whole parsley leaves; finely chop the rest of the leaves and tender stems. Transfer chopped parsley to the bowl with the cilantro. Add scallions, jalapeño, garlic, fine salt and vinegar. Stir in oil. Taste and add more salt, vinegar or both, if needed.
• Scatter the whole cilantro and parsley leaves over 4 serving plates. Fan the avocados out on top, and sprinkle lightly with fine salt to taste. Spoon the herb dressing over the avocado, making sure to include the oil in the bowl, and top with capers. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper and serve.

DANISH BURGERS WITH HERB CAPER SAUCE AND A MOD SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, thoroughly combine the ground chicken, poultry seasoning, shallots, Dijon mustard, mushrooms, Havarti, salt, and pepper. Score the meat with your hand into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a large 1-inch-thick patty.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle EVOO over the patties and place them in the hot skillet. Cook for 6 minutes per side until the patties are firm to the touch and cooked through.
• While the burgers are cooking prepare the herb caper sauce and mod salad. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise or sour cream, dill, and capers. Set aside. In a salad bowl combine the cucumbers, red onion, plum tomatoes, and three quarters of the baby spinach. Dress the salad with white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, then drizzle with a couple tablespoons of EVOO to coat the salad lightly and evenly. Toss to combine and adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
• Split the rolls. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with sliced radishes, the remaining baby spinach, and a heaping spoonful of the herb-caper dressing slathered across the bun tops. Add the remaining sauce to the salad and toss for a creamy finish. Fancy chips finish the plate.
• The colder the semisoft Havarti with dill cheese is, the easier it will be to dice. Pop the cheese in the freezer while you prep everything else. Because of the fat content of the cheese, just 10 minutes in a deep freeze makes the dicing a real breeze!
