Smoked Chicken, Spinach, Apple & Cheese Salad

Smoked Chicken, Spinach, Apple & Cheese Salad by Bob Vincent

This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Bon Appetit in 2004. I added smoked chicken breasts, candied pecans, Gouda cheese and bacon to the original. I also added apple juice concentrate and mayonnaise to the dressing. The recipe makes two very large main dish salads or 4 smaller servings. If you are not into smoking foods…

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.

Citrus and Avocado Salad

Citrus and Avocado Salad by John Spottiswood

This was one of my favorite salads growing up. My grandmother would serve it in a butter lettuce leaf cup with just grapefruit, avocado, and a light vinegarette. This version has a bit more too it, and is equally good.

Carrot, Pineapple and Blueberry Salad ~ Easy & Healthy!

Carrot, Pineapple and Blueberry Salad ~ Easy & Healthy! by Salad Foodie

“Healthy IS as healthy DOES”, as the saying goes. This salad is one of the healthiest I prepare because there’s no added fat, salt or sweetener of any kind. The canned pineapple tidbit juice acts as the sole "dressing" - period! Not only is it good for you, but it is so easy to make, and keeps well refrigerated several days. Take…

Cranberry Walnut Cabbage Slaw

Cranberry Walnut Cabbage Slaw by Salad Foodie

This recipe was a top winner in Better Homes & Gardens August 1999 monthly recipe contest and I have made it ever since. It's fits well with a Thanksgiving, Christmas, holiday theme with the dried cranberries and walnuts, and the red and green color combos, but I make it year-round. I especially like the snappy dressing.

Cucumber Vinegar Salad

Cucumber Vinegar Salad by Carolinaheartstrings

This was a favorite summertime salad of my mine. I remember my mother making this on a regular basis with garden fresh cucumbers and onions. I put a little tweak on it and added a tomato. Delicious.

Vegetable Bowtie Pasta Salad

Vegetable Bowtie Pasta Salad by Vanessa

Growing up, my Mother fixed a pasta salad that was so awesome. Well, I did a makeover of that pasta salad with my own twist...by changing the pasta to bowtie pasta, using low-fat mayo and low-fat sour cream and adding more vegetables.
