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.

Italian Pasta and Vegetable Salad

Italian Pasta and Vegetable Salad by Salad Foodie

This pasta salad has a nice texture balance of smooth to crunchy, plus the tart-sweet of red wine vinegar and lemon pepper in the dressing. It makes PLENTY and is always a hit at gatherings. Leftovers keep well refrigerated.

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.

Aunt Birdie’s Layered Chicken Salad

Aunt Birdie’s Layered Chicken Salad by Salad Foodie

A make-ahead salad for a crowd, with crispy crunch appeal. There are many variations but this is the way Aunt Birdie prepared it, and it never fails to please at pot lucks and reunions. This is glamorous when layered in a round glass serving bowl, but for a crowd I usually assemble it flat in a glass 9x13" or 10x10" baking dish. It’s…

This is one of my absolute favorite salads, and never fails to amaze and delight, whether I serve it as part of a Moroccan dinner, take it to a summer picnic, or spoon it over…

Favorite Coleslaw Dressing

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…

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.

Blueberry & Almond Brunch Slaw

Blueberry & Almond Brunch Slaw by Salad Foodie

About to make a small amount of coleslaw one day an inspiration came to me to make a fruited version with blueberries. But then I couldn’t stop at that - what would compliment the blueberries? Almonds! Next a binder sauce of yogurt , and quickly this little salad-making side trip became a beautiful and healthy brunch slaw! You’ll…

Blackberry Vinegar

Blackberry Vinegar by A.L. Wiebe

I have been making this vinegar for years, and it can be used in such a variety of ways, that I really cannot imagine my pantry being without it. I use it as a salad dressing, with chicken, turkey, and fish dishes. You do not have to use blackberries, as raspberries work well in this too. I imagine that strawberries would be a…

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish Salad

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish Salad by Salad Foodie

So colorful, light and refreshing, this goes over well at summer feeds, and helps use up your garden harvest. Make this in advance to allow a thorough chilling, about 2 hours. It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta. Leftovers can top salad greens for yet…

I’m increasing my cache of cottage cheese recipes, and this one from the Knudsen Cottage Cheese web site captured my interest. Perfect for summer luncheon entrees, this colorful salad can be chosen for heart-healthy and diabetic-friendly diets, especially if you select non-fat or low-fat cheeses and dressing, and whole grain pasta,…
