Think outside the box for your next slaw with this creamy deep red cabbage version. The dried cranberries are camouflaged by the cabbage color and provide a pleasant sweet taste surprise, while walnuts add extra crunch.

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.

Quinoa and Edamame Salad by Kyra Martin

I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing for this, so feel free to experiment. I made a big batch though and it reheated nicely and was also good cold for lunch.

Light with a nice balance of sweet/sour, Vinaigrette Coleslaw has become one of my favorites from BGH.COM, and makes a welcome change from creamy coleslaw recipes.

Hearty and Skinny Antipasto Main Course Salad by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Salad meets antipasto in this colorful, bursting with flavor, main course salad. You’ll love all the different textures and taste sensations.
