Raw Vegetable Salad for a Crowd by A.L. Wiebe

Like many of my recipes, this one has been hanging around since the '70's, and it is always a huge hit. I have never tried to alter it in any way, as I've never felt it needed it; but if anyone has any suggestions, fire away! It takes a bit of planning, as it needs to marinate overnight, but it's well worth it. Because it makes such…

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.

Blackberry Vinegar by A.L. Wiebe

I have been making this vinegar for years, and it can be used in such a variety of ways, that I really cannot imagine my pantry being without it. I use it as a salad dressing, with chicken, turkey, and fish dishes. You do not have to use blackberries, as raspberries work well in this too. I imagine that strawberries would be a…
