Watercress and Arugula Salad with Blue Cheese, Dates, and Almonds
This elegantly composed salad combines classic flavors and textures: Chewy dates, crunchy almonds, and creamy blue cheese nestle with peppery arugula and watercress. A sweet-tart honey-Dijon dressing pulls it all together. For a heartier meal, serve with grilled ribeye.

Directions
25 min.
1. Step
Place vinegar, honey, mustard, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small, nonreactive bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking continuously, until completely incorporated. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
2. Step
Place dates in a small bowl and add just enough dressing to coat, about to 2 tablespoons. Using your hands, separate the pieces and evenly coat with dressing; set aside.
3. Step
Place watercress and arugula in a large bowl and toss to combine. Drizzle in the remaining dressing and gently toss to evenly coat the leaves. Taste, season with salt and pepper as needed, and toss to combine.
4. Step
Divide greens among four plates. Top each salad with a quarter each of the dates, cheese, and almonds. Serve immediately.

Pizza Dough Gnocchi
We got the idea for these impromptu gnocchi from our Home Cooking community discussion board. All you need is half a pound of pizza dough, a pot of boiling salted water, and a sauce (marinara is perfect). Enlist your kids to help with the shaping, then let them watch you poaching the dough and tossing it in the sauce. What to buy: Premade pizza dough is available bagged in 14- or 16-ounce portions at well-stocked groceries.
