Peach Salad a La Menthe

Fri, 03 Nov 2006 17:36:13 -0500

Sounds great when peaches are in season since this uses fresh white and yellow peaches. A no-cook recipe that would be nice on a summer BBQ buffet table. From a newspaper clipping. I'm getting my recipes posted and tossing my clippings out! -- posted by Oolala

Linda's Bean Salad

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 17:25:25 -0500

My sister-in-law took some of her bean salad to my mom and I tasted it. After that, I had to have the recipe and called her right away. This is great for picnics, potlucks, or anytime. I suggest making it a day ahead, as it is so much tastier then. Not sure of the servings, since she just brought a serving to my mom. Cooking time is the refrigeration time to chill. -- posted by keen5

Easy Seashell Krab Salad

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:57:17 -0500

This pasta salad is so easy to make. Very little chopping, if you use prepackaged shredded cabbage coleslaw mix. Inexpensive, too! If you don't like curry powder, use paprika in place of it. :) -- posted by *Parsley*

Cucumber Dill Pasta Salad

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 22:59:42 -0500

There are lots of pasta salad recipes here but I don't see this particular variation. I love dill in most anything and combined with cucumbers and pasta, it's tart/creamy comfort food to me. For even more color & crunch, radishes could be added for another twist. You may need to adjust the mayo and sour cream amounts - I don't really measure it so I've guessed. I start with a large dollop of each then add till I get the texture and taste that I want. Update: Thanks to the first reviewer for finding my typo with the salt; it has been corrected. -- posted by SusieQusie

Sweet Amish Macaroni Salad (Done My Way)

Unique Shrimp and Pasta Salad

Sun, 11 Mar 2007 21:21:56 -0400

This salad is very different because of the way you make the dressing. I have never seen another recipe like this one. It will spoil you for other like recipes. My recipe is so old it is falling apart, so thought I best get it in here. If you give it a try, be sure to use the small salad pasta. -- posted by dolores in paradise

Patrick's Artichoke Pasta Salad

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 22:34:18 -0400

This recipe is truly a "scratch" one but, after your culinary efforts, your guests will be mightily pleased to have tasted a pasta salad that is bright, new, and delicious. You will not find this recipe anywhere else because it took me about 6 months to develop it and I have only posted it HERE on Recipezaar! I wanted a pasta salad that used an Italian-based dressing and which packed a LOT of flavor, slightly creamy. Through much research, a few false starts and, blind luck, I got the pasta salad that I wanted. It's fairly easy to put together but it does take some time. It's great for a covered dish or as a side dish to either fried chicken or pork chops. I plan to use it for summer barbecues as well. And, once again, I have to thank Dee514 for her spectacular Italian Spice Blend recipe (Recipe #38293) which I have listed in the directions and which is an integral ingredient. For SAINT PATRICK'S DAY, use all GREEN PASTA (spinach pasta)! I hope you enjoy this pasta salad as much as I do. -- posted by Bone Man

Spinach Salad With Strawberries

Wed, 04 Apr 2007 19:43:26 -0400

I originally saw this prepared on Cooking Live for a 4th of July special years ago, and tried it immediately. It was a huge hit and I have since made this numerous times. This is a wonderful salad, and is one of my favorite versions of this type of salad. I used champagne vinegar and a splash of raspberry vinegar. Dress the salad right before serving or else it will wilt dramatically. I serve this throughout the summer months, but it is also nice for Valentine's Day. -- posted by HeatherFeather

My sister-in-law created this delicious potato salad. My mom makes a wonderful potato salad that was everyone's favorite for years, until it was de-throned by this one! The real secret to its great taste is in the pickle juice, and I just keep adding until I like it -- sometimes nearly a fourth of a cup. -- posted by Soeur Souris

Sushiman's Sick Salad

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:45:47 -0400

Every year, on Israel's Independence Day, we all go off and have a barbeque in a public park together with friends and family. Every year, without fail, my Sushiman makes his Sick Salad. Sushiman is British, so sick means barf. And it really does look like barf. People rave about it, although I wouldn't know, I really can't bring myself to eat it, although that one time I did taste it (with my eyes closed), it was actually pretty tasty! At the request of a few brave souls in the Jewish forum, here it is, in all it's glorious, barfy splendor! -- posted by Mirj

Garlicky Olive Oil Potato Salad

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 23:16:22 -0400

This is very good, a refreshing twist to the traditional salad and a lot healthier than recipes full of mayo and sour cream. I found it on the blog "Amy's Humble Musings," where it was labeled as "The Very Best Potato Salad in the World." Red potatoes or thin-skinned Yukon Gold potatoes are really nice. It's better when it sits for a while, like most potato salads, and this recipe makes plenty for a crowd. -- posted by A Messy Cook

This is a little different from most coleslaws because it is vinegar based and has feta cheese in it. I love the slaw at Zoe's so I tried to re-create it and think I came pretty close.

Garlic and Bacon Roasted Potato Salad

This past weekend I went on a camping trip and my assignment was to bring the potato salad. I wanted it to be absolutely perfect so I started messing around with recipes the week before and threw out a few batches before I came up with this. The roasted potatoes enhance the flavor of the garlic and bacon and makes this a great tasting combination. This is best made at least a day ahead so that the bacon flavor can really combine and penetrate the potatoes. Everyone absolutely loved it and I hope you do to. -- posted by invictus

This is basically fruit salad - on a stick! It's a great, healthy side for kids or elderly people who have trouble handling plates. It does take a bit of time to assemble, but the results look stunning at a baby shower, birthday party, or cookout! The goal is to make the skewer colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue. You can, however, substitute any fruit you'd like. You can also reverse the order in which you put the fruit on the skewer, and dip the bottom of the strawberry in chocolate.

Although I usually think of coleslaw as a summertime side dish, it seems to go really well with my Super Bowl spread. I serve pulled pork with baked beans and some of this lovely, creamy coleslaw, then sit back and collect the compliments! Again, this makes a LOT, so adjust accordingly.

Corn and Black Bean Macaroni Salad - Tex Mex

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:23:11 -0400

Chill a beer for this nice and spicy dish! The elbows should be cooked al dente in well salted water to prevent broken mushy noodles. Do salt the water liberally. (2 teaspoons is not a lot once mixed with the rest of the ingredients) Seasons the pasta and avoids father salting in the recipe. This can be eaten as a side or a main balanced meal. I opted for yogurt and smart balance for better health. But you can use sour cream and mayo. -- posted by ~Rita~

Spanish Roasted Tomato Salad

Sat, 09 May 2009 00:11:29 -0400

A simple but lovely way of serving tomatoes. This would go nicely with a Spanish tortilla and even as part of a tapas meal. I found the recipe on the Orce Serrano Hams website. Caster sugar is simply superfine sugar. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:49:22 -0400

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition. I tweaked it a bit, personal prefermce. -- posted by Manami

Chinese Chicken Burgers With Rainbow Sesame Slaw-Contest Winner!

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:47:41 -0400

This is Brigitte Nguyen's $50,000 Grand Prize recipe in the 2009 National Chicken Cooking Contest put on by the National Chicken Council. Geared to big appetites, it could easily be turned into eight burgers rather than six. Cook them on the grill or in a frying pan if you prefer. As a shortcut, you could substitute 2 cups of already-grated cabbage for the julienned vegetables in the slaw. Look for Sriracha chile sauce on the Asian aisle of the supermarket. Any type of Asian chile sauce may be substituted. -- posted by Sharon123

Strawberry and Boursin Spinach Salad

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:43:27 -0400

This is a twist on a fabulous and fast recipe I found in Eating Well Magazine; it is vegetarian and low sodium. I think this would be fabulous for a bridal/baby shower luncheon! It is a great lunch salad with some bread and butter. The magazine suggests topping it with a grilled or poached chicken breast (sliced) for a great healthy dinner meal. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Red, White, and Blue (Berry) Green Salad

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:50:06 -0400

This recipe is more about assembly than actual cooking. (I mostly wanted to post my pics, which are pretty!) I had store-bought Romaine and Aerogarden -grown mixed greens, as well as strawberries and blueberries, needing to be eaten, so I made this salad (a variation of the usual strawberry-feta salads). I also put Recipe#49956 on it, but any bottled raspberry vinegrette will work. Also, it would be good with sliced chicken, avocado, onion, etc on top, or made with spinach. Feel free to enjoy it on the 4th, or any day! -- posted by Belinda in Austin, TX

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:38:53 -0400

I love Ina's recipes and this one seems like a classic. Make sure to plan ahead since the cucumbers and yogurt need to drain in a colander to keep the dressing from being too wet. -- posted by cookiedog

Try a Cashew Chicken Salad in a Sandwich on a Hot Summer Evening

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:05:49 -0400

The title is pretty self-explanatory, and I think you'll agree that this is a nice way to spend a summer evening. Kettle (crunchy) potato chips on the side, a couple of home-made cookies or a brownie, some carrot sticks, and you've got a pretty decent brown-bag lunch, too. The original recipe (from Taste of Home, Aug/Sep 09) calls for pumpernickel bread. -- posted by Debber

Green Chili Potato Salad

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:02:09 -0400

I created this recipe many years ago when I was looking to do something a little different with my grandma's old fashioned potato salad dressing recipe (which is great by the way). I am now mortified that I actually used canned green chilis...it is much better with fresh ones! -- posted by Melanie B.

Quency's Pasta Salad

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:59:14 -0500

This recipe came from a girl I knew named Quency. She said it was a family recipe. I always make this for bbq's and pot lucks. It is a big hit! This makes a very large quantity of salad. I usually mix it up in a foil roasting pan so I don't have to worry about having a big enough bowl or remembering to bring my bowl home. -- posted by ~Sherry~
