Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp SaladOriginally 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. |

Vinaigrette Coleslaw ILight with a nice balance of sweet/sour, Vinaigrette Coleslaw has become one of my favorites from BGH.COM, and makes a welcome change from creamy coleslaw recipes.

Grilled Vegetable SaladInspired by The Ivy in Santa Monica, this is a wonderful spring salad that can be served as a side to grilled meats or as a main for lunch or a light dinner. I think the grilled corn makes the dish. Can also add grilled and chopped chicken to create a full meal. |

Mexican Black Bean and Corn SaladThis is a great side dish for picnics and outdoor parties since there is no mayo in it.

Chicken, Tomatoes & Rotini SaladHearty pasta salad to help use up leftover roast chicken or turkey. I've a bumper crop of grape tomatoes which work well in this too. I try to go light on the seasonings, so follks can adjust as desired when served. |

Ham, Peas & Pasta SaladA 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. |
