A most colorful salad dedicated to my Aussie friends by Nick Roche

OK, so tomatoes are a fruit, correct? And we all know that kiwis are a fruit as well, correct? What if the two of them met each other in a most unlikely venue, say a salad? And let's say that these silly little capers decided to butt in and mix things up. Before you knew it, there was a flavor party brewing, somebody said Happy New…

Best Ever Ham and Mandarin Salad by Smokinhotchef

A copious amount of goodness in a flash. Juicy cooked ham is mixed with lots of fresh crunchy vegetables with an all out taste-bud party-gras. Capers and giardinera provide the acidic tang, while celery and mandarin contribute crisp texture and sutle blast of sweetness. Guaranteed to become your new favorite go-to ham salad for…

Mac and Cheese Pasta Salad by myra byanka

This is so easy and good. It's a great summertime salad for the backyard bbq or burger cookout.

Maple syrup vinaigrette by Micheline

This is my favourite vinaigrette or salad dressing. A sweet (but not too sweet), flavourful dressing for your favourite green salad. I usually add julienned carrots, julienned zucchini, sliced green onions, mesclun mix (various mixed greens), green olives with pimiento, cherry tomatoes, sliced strawberries. Voilà!

Fiesta Chopped Salad by Salad Foodie

I’m on a mission to find great new (to me) recipes using zucchini, and this perky salad was the first to be tried. A healthy colorful side salad, full of summer garden veggies with a refreshing light dressing. It meets my criteria for a “Keeper.” Score One!

Asparagus and Sprite Melon Salad w/Cambozola and Pancetta by Smokinhotchef

This fruit has origins in Japan and has been successfully cultivated in our own 'backyard' of North Carolina since the early 1990's . When ripe, this fruit is about the size of a grapefruit.

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish Salad by Salad Foodie

So colorful, light and refreshing, this goes over well at summer feeds, and helps use up your garden harvest. Make this in advance to allow a thorough chilling, about 2 hours.

Ground Turkey Taco Salad by Ally Hornseth

Vegetable Salad with Red Chili Dressing by Anzi

I recommend this salad for summer season. It would be nice if you eat it with a grill fish and white rice.

Insalata di Riso by Nick Webster

Insalata di riso is a dish which is perfect for picnics. It transports well in a covered dish and is best served at room temperature. Plus, it’s a great way to get more vegetables on the table in a setting that is often dominated by meats and snacks. The beautiful bold colors of tomatoes, olives, and herbs will draw the eye of even…

Bacon, Bell Pepper and Bean Salad by Elizabeth @Taste & Sprout

This Bacon, Bell Pepper and Bean Salad would keep well sitting out for a couple of hours at a potluck. It's super quick to throw together and is adaptable to whatever is on hand. Certainly couscous, barley, rice, farro or quinoa would work just as well.

All the flavors of the Mediterranean including tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion and olives in a Greek vinaigrette dressing. Feel free to use provolone cheese instead of feta if you do not like feta's strong flavor.
