	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.	3 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 5831 views
	BLT Macaroni Salad by Robyn Savoie This is a summer staple in my house because it's nice to serve on hot and humid days. Make sure to cook the pasta al dente because it will absorb half the dressing as it rests in the refrigerator.	1 vote 9266 views

	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.	1 vote 3108 views
	Italian Pasta and Vegetable Salad by Salad Foodie This pasta salad has a nice texture balance of smooth to crunchy, plus the tart-sweet of red wine vinegar and lemon pepper in the dressing. It makes PLENTY and is always a hit at gatherings. Leftovers keep well refrigerated.	1 vote 2 comments 4639 views
