D, theres an herb salad that comes in a tub in most grocery stores, thats right near the bagged salad. not a big fan of bag salad, but the tub of herb salad is so good & has so many flavors, that a salad dressing ALMOST is not necessary.

Not really a "recipe" but...

We chop up a tomato, cucumber, and some red onion. Then we add some feta cheese and black or green olives. Then we put some Paul Newman's Own Oil and Vinegar Dressing on top. Yummmmmmmmmmmy!

This evening I will be having the bagged salad that is called "taco toss". It is pretty good by itself, but I tend to add hamburger meat to it. It gives the salad a little more depth if you will.

If I pick up the ceaser salad in a bag, I usually add a boiled egg and grilled chicken to it. I just need something more to my salad so it stays with me through the evening.

I have no recipes, but I recently have found a new salad dressing. It is so yummy! It's fat free and all natural.

I consider this a bean salad and make it as a side dish, but it is good as a light meal...
If i don't have hominy, i substitute shoepeg corn. I also rinse the canned ingredients after draining them...

I like this salad when it's hot outside. I substitute fresh, cut green beans for the cannelini beans.

Three Bean Salad

1 15-oz can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 celery stalks, chopped fine
1/2 red onion, chopped fine
1 cup fresh, finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 Tbsp fresh finely chopped rosemary

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1 In a large bowl, mix the beans, celery, onion, parsley and rosemary.

2 In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the dressing to the beans. Toss to coat.

3 Chill beans in the refrigerator for several hours, to allow the beans to soak up the flavor of the dressing.

Serves 4 to 8.

I tried this the other day and my picky husband even liked it:

2 cans tuna
1-2 cups organic garbanzo beans
mayo (to taste)
raisins (to taste)
cashews/walnuts (to taste)
chopped cucumber

Drain tuna. Mix it all up & enjoy w/ crackers. It is really filling!

I know it has ham, shell roni's, tomatos, radishes, but I'm not sure what the sauce is.

allycat · Cat Scratch Diva

Its macaroni salad

2 cups of shell roni's cooked & rinsed
about half a bottle of french dressing
miracle whip (about half as much french dressing)
salt and pepper to taste
if its a bit sour some french dressings are add a little sugar
2 cans ham
2 tomatoes chopped
radish chopped fine
* mom uses peas...I hate them so I dont use them.

My macaroni salad is a simple recipie. Just elbow macaroni, chopped onion and celery, mayo and salt and pepper to taste. I don't measure the mayo. I am not big on mayo, so it is rather light.

My cucumber salad is also simple. Cucumbers, red onion (sliced) water, white vinegar, dash or two of salt, about the same of sugar. This is another recipie I don't measure. I assemble it, test it and find out what it needs if it isn't quite right.

Pasta salad is simple too. But again no measuring. Just whatever looks good for uniformness. Twist pasta, ham, cheese, onion, celery, pepper (two colors), cherry tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and I simple use a nice house Italian for the dressing. I think that is everything.
