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.

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…

Super Chicken Salad

Super Chicken Salad by Wendi Taylor

Not your typical chicken salad. Great use for leftover grilled chicken, or cheat & use pre-cooked grilled chicken breast strips. Alternatively, you can cook the chicken breasts in a skillet, dice, and chill - but I really like the flavor that grilled adds to the salad.
