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.

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.

Carrot Peanut Salad or Lettuce Wrap by Salad Foodie

Reminiscing with family recently the conversation turned to memories of mom’s cooking, and one recipe we loved as children: Carrot Peanut Salad.

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.)

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…

Summer Chicken Salad by Carolinaheartstrings

I love chicken salad and I REALLY LOVE chicken salad when the red grapes are at their best in the summer. The creaminess of the mayonnaise and the slight tart sweetness of the grapes make the perfect combination. Dig in and enjoy!
