Easy summer salad. Great side dish to take to picnics or bbq's.

Milly's Tortellini Salad by Milly Bossert

Fresh herbs and the vinegrette make this dish fantastic and memorable. Truly an Italian flavor. This makes a very large batch and is great to take to parties or serve to a large crowd.

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!

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.

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.

Orzo with spinach and tomatoes by Carol E. Smith

I think I found this recipe on Rachel Ray's web site. It's so easy and very tasty. Light and a little tart at the same time.

The key to this Macaroni Salad is the Pimento Cheese Spread with Jalapeno Added!

Sesame Noodle Salad by Karen

A cold noodle salad with homemade peanut sauce. Great dish to bring to a summer potluck. Hearty enough to be an entree, but really just a salad. For those who can not go without meat, 4 oz. of cooked chicken can always be added.

Asian Noodle Sesame Salad by lhuffman

This salad served cold is a wonderful summer meal or side dish. I think it is best when prepared a day or two ahead of time so that the noodles have ample time to marinate and soak up all of the wonderful flavor.

Summer mac salad by Leigh Elliott

This is a mac salad recipe that I make often throughout the summer. It has the foundation of the Muellers elbows box recipe and has evolved through the years to something else!
