Mediterranean Summer Salad by Amos Miller

This Spanish-influenced salad is refreshing anytime you have it - from a dinner party to a picnic lunch. Bright notes of lime and cilantro. the wonderful pairing of sweet onion and navel orange, the sensuously smooth silkiness of avocado and tomato, all set off by the crisp crunch of toasted almond slices and the elegant earthiness…

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing by Nancy Miyasaki

A simple but fantastic salad with a very nice dressing. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add depth and flavor to this salad. We all really enjoyed this. Another amazing dish from my good friend Marci Chan!

This is a great salsa on hot dogs or tortilla chips

Texas Caviar by Wendi Taylor

Favorite Creamy Coleslaw by Frosted Flaker

For me, this has just the right balance of slaw to dressing. A true creamy slaw delight. Keep in mind this produces a VERY creamy version of coleslaw. To reduce the creaminess, simply add a bit more cabbage.

Chickpea and Tomato Salad with Grilled Pita by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a refreshing and delicious salad. It's healthy and filling, so a good salad to serve with soup or another lighter dish. It's super quick if you use canned garbanzo beans, or save money by using dried chickpeas. This is a great side dish for when you are grilling.

Hawaiian Crest Salsa by Smokinhotchef

I came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken. I had just visited the supermarket, so I had lots of fresh ingredients on hand. My sister Gayle said this recipe reminded her of Hawaii and crisp freshness…

Carrot Salad by Patrick Travis

A very quick and easy salad that goes well on a hot day.

Old Fashioned Cucumber Salad with White Vinegar by K. Garner

Old fashioned recipe my mother-in-law used to make. She was hard pressed to give me exact amounts. She slices her cucumber first and then adds the wet ingredients to cover it. In other words, there is no recipe. If you need an exact recipe, see the link provided. It's very close

Andra's Fruit Salsa by Andra Kiser

This is great with bunelos (I make my cinnamon sugar tortilla chips fresh or buy the bunelos by the bag) and is also great with grilled chicken, grilled tilapia or with pork tenderloin.

Four C Coleslaw by Salad Foodie

This is my version of a coleslaw I tasted many years ago at a catered event. It's close but not precisely the same. However it's a refreshing change from those familiar too-creamy coleslaws. The salad base is made up of 4 vegetables that start with the letter C, hence the recipe name. Cabbage, corn, cucumber, and cilantro team up…

Tomato Salsa by Ken Podgorsek

This salsa was served on top of a traditional mayonnaise style macaroni salad (see Cooks Illustrated recipe) alongside the Slow Roasted Lamb Spareribs. It was a surprisingly great combination. We served it again the next day for the neighborhood 4th of July BBQ and it was a huge hit. The salsa held up overnight. It made a beautiful…
