Luncheon Pasta Salad

Luncheon Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad

Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience. My pasta choice for this is ditalini, a small pasta often used in soups (this can be hard to locate but Barilla sells a one pound box.) Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells.

Fideo (Cut) Spaghetti and Shrimp Salad

Fideo (Cut) Spaghetti and Shrimp Salad by Salad Foodie

Fideo is a thin spaghetti cut into 3/4-inch pieces used primarily for soups, or if the spaghetti is broken in half or less it is used for certain Mexican dishes. Of course you can break regular thin spaghetti in small pieces yourself for this salad, but using the prepared pasta is so much simpler and ideal. This unique pasta salad…

Lentil salad

Lentil salad by Kristine Avila

I recently tried a lentil salad at La Bicyclette in Carmel and thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to find a similar recipe. I found one on "My New Roots" and made some adjustments and it was a big hit!

Dill Potato Salad

Dill Potato Salad by B Innes

In general for potato salads you want a low starch potato, ideally if you can find them fingerlings, if not then small red potatoes or even in a pinch Yukon golds. The small red potatoes are easy for me to find so I use them in just about all my recipes, unless of course I can find the fingerlings at the green grocers.

Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad

Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad by Salad Foodie

Originally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over. Adding a few new veggies and seasonings, and subbing an oil-based dressing, made it lighter and brighter. The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed.

Cous Cous Salad

Cous Cous Salad by Denise Sherin

I love Cous-Cous and this salad is a nice change from cous- cous as a side dish. Its great cold or room temp. I used to make it with a white wine vinaigrette, but it doesn't need it. So now I just offer some raspberry vinaigrette on the side for those who want it but most people eat it plain. I will include the vinaigrette recipe…

Marinated Asparagus

Marinated Asparagus by Robyn Savoie

This versatile recipe made with fresh asparagus can be made year around. Serve it cold or warm as side with any meal. My favorite way to serve this is grilling it. It produces rave reviews every time. Even from guests who may not be fans of asparagus.

Jean's Potato Salad

Jean's Potato Salad by Micheline

My friend Jean makes one of the best potato salad I have tasted. She shared her recipe with me. Here is her easy, quick and tasty recipe. Great for a potluck. I have also modified it several times by adding: diced bacon, diced celery and diced sweet pickles. Both ways, it is delicious.

Shrimp Potato Salad

Shrimp Potato Salad by Robyn Savoie

Cool Shrimp Salad is made even more refreshing with the snap of fresh lime juice and cilantro. This would be a substantial luncheon dish, doubly welcome because it can be made ahead. I'm not a fan of cocktail shrimp, frozen or canned. I strongly suggest using fresh cooked or the pre-cooked frozen shrimp found in the seafood…

Two-Potato Salad With Bacon And Corn

Two-Potato Salad With Bacon And Corn by Robyn Savoie

During westward expansion, potatoes were at a premium and often sold for at least a dollar a pound. Sweet potatoes, which keep well over several months, were also popular.
