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.

Roasted Plum Bacon & Feta Salad by Now We're Cooking!

I guess I am definitely in a "new cooking dimension," no longer afraid to try my own combinations - whether they turn out or not. This morning, I was looking for something to do with 3 plums I bought at the store, some smoked bacon and a bit of feta cheese. In my opinion, when it comes to fruits, plums are the un-sung heroes of the…

Creamy Italian Dressing by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe in Cuisine At Home. The original used much more sugar which I cut back on. I increased the amount of granulated garlic and added garlic pepper. I also added finely minced parsley for some color. The addition of sugar makes for a slightly sweet dressing. I used it on a main dish salad which had…

Hearty 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.

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. It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta. Leftovers can top salad greens for yet…

Pizza Pasta Salad by Carolinaheartstrings

This pasta salad is a great to pack for lunch – with cheese, pepperoni and olives and a blended dressing of spaghetti sauce and mayonnaise it mimics the flavor of a pizza that just about any kid will love. And us adults at my house enjoy it too. Skip the olives if your child doesn’t like them or substitute some jarred or canned…

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!
