Fresh Garden Salad with Balsamic Marinade

Fresh Garden Salad with Balsamic Marinade by Salad Foodie

A summertime side with plenty of garden vegetables in a pleasant balsamic marinade. Add grilled meat or fish and dessert and dinner is a cinch. Allow 30-60 minutes marinating time before serving (though it can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours if preferred.)

Red Cabbage Coleslaw

Red Cabbage Coleslaw by Salad Foodie

Think outside the box for your next slaw with this creamy deep red cabbage version. The dried cranberries are camouflaged by the cabbage color and provide a pleasant sweet taste surprise, while walnuts add extra crunch.

Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad

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.

Mom's Pickled Beet and Egg Salad

Mom's Pickled Beet and Egg Salad by Salad Foodie

I've fond memories of my mother's salads but have few written recipes of hers. Relying on memory alone for ingredients and flavors, I've come fairly close to her pickled beet salad. Three ingredients - this recipe is way easy! Of course I might add and/or embellish with all kinds of ingredients and garnishes we use today, but for the…

Creamy Cucumber Salad

Creamy Cucumber Salad by Salad Foodie

This refreshing salad is a departure from traditional marinated cucumbers, and perfect for summer cookouts and picnics. Cucumbers may be peeled or not. If seeding them is preferred, add an extra cucumber to make up for the loss of volume.

Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad

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.

Blueberry & Almond Brunch Slaw by Salad Foodie

About to make a small amount of coleslaw one day an inspiration came to me to make a fruited version with blueberries. But then I couldn’t stop at that - what would compliment the blueberries? Almonds! Next a binder sauce of yogurt , and quickly this little salad-making side trip became a beautiful and healthy brunch slaw! You’ll…

Quinoa and Edamame Salad by Kyra Martin

I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing for this, so feel free to experiment. I made a big batch though and it reheated nicely and was also good cold for lunch.

Vinaigrette Coleslaw II

Vinaigrette Coleslaw II by Salad Foodie

Light, sweet and tart, this salad is a refreshing change from creamy coleslaws. This is a variation of Vinaigrette Coleslaw I - link below (see "Useful Links".) This salad is easily made diabetic-friendly by using a sweetening substitute such as Splenda, and reducing amount of oil.
