Luncheon Pasta Salad

Luncheon Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

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.

Fideo (Cut) Spaghetti and Shrimp Salad

Fideo (Cut) Spaghetti and Shrimp Salad by Salad Foodie

Fideo is a thin spaghetti cut into 3/4-inch pieces used primarily for soups, or if the spaghetti is broken in half or less it is used for certain Mexican dishes. Of course you can break regular thin spaghetti in small pieces yourself for this salad, but using the prepared pasta is so much simpler and ideal. This unique pasta salad…

Mom's (Olcott) Potato Salad by ken davis

I recently hosted my 65th birthday party and was frantically looking for a good potato salad recipe. I am very particular about potato salad and was struggling to find one that had true flavor. A colleague offered her mother's recipe to me. After reading it, I knew i had found just what I wanted!

Dill Potato Salad

Dill Potato Salad by B Innes

In general for potato salads you want a low starch potato, ideally if you can find them fingerlings, if not then small red potatoes or even in a pinch Yukon golds. The small red potatoes are easy for me to find so I use them in just about all my recipes, unless of course I can find the fingerlings at the green grocers.

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.

Marinated Asparagus

Marinated Asparagus by Robyn Savoie

This versatile recipe made with fresh asparagus can be made year around. Serve it cold or warm as side with any meal. My favorite way to serve this is grilling it. It produces rave reviews every time. Even from guests who may not be fans of asparagus.

Shrimp Potato Salad

Shrimp Potato Salad by Robyn Savoie

Cool Shrimp Salad is made even more refreshing with the snap of fresh lime juice and cilantro. This would be a substantial luncheon dish, doubly welcome because it can be made ahead. I'm not a fan of cocktail shrimp, frozen or canned. I strongly suggest using fresh cooked or the pre-cooked frozen shrimp found in the seafood…

Southwestern Shell Pasta Salad

Southwestern Shell Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

Chop, chop, chop and get your frustrations out making this pasta salad with south-of-the-border appeal. Choose your heat level by amount of peppers, hot sauce and chilies you add. This yields a generous bowl and serves 12-14. Make this ahead of time and chill ~ if you can wait and can keep everyone out too!

Chicken, Tomatoes & Rotini Salad

Chicken, Tomatoes & Rotini Salad by Salad Foodie

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.
