	Favorite Coleslaw Dressing by Salad Foodie A basic mayonnaise-based dressing that we make ahead and have on hand when crunchy coleslaw is on the menu for lunch or dinner. This dressing keeps well for several weeks refrigerated in a mason jar, a vintage bottle from the thrift store, or recycled dressing container (see photos). Yield is a little over 2 cups and will dress a…	1 vote 2152 views

	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.	1 vote 3108 views
	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…	1 vote 2868 views

	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.	1 vote 2208 views
	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.	6 votes 1 review 9569 views
	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.	3 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 5831 views

	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.
