	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
	Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way.

Keep them right on the counter so they'll be sweeter and juicier.	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 6849 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

	Venison Spaghetti by Sacora This recipe can be made with low-fat ground beef. Venison has very little fat, but it has a gamey flavor that many are not accustomed to. Cooking it with tomato helps to disguise the wild-flavor.	1 vote 2843 views
	Grandma Beckeys Macaroni Salad by Randy This Macaroni salad has a sweet and sour taste to it because of the olives and sugar that are in it.	1 vote 1837 views
