I like chef salad with smoked turkey, bacon bits and cheese!
I like ceasar salad with black olives!
I love lots of mushrooms in ANY salad!
I like broc/caulif salad!
I have a recipe called "that good salad" and it's YUMMY!
I like the curry chicken salad I made tonight... EASY!!
I don't usually grill my chicken, I cook it in the oven (or toaster oven) either in italian dressing or BBQ sauce! I rarely eat chicken on my salad unless a recipe calls for it!
My typical tossed salad...
lettuce
grape tomatoes
shredded cheese
baby carrots
cucumbers
mushrooms
bacon bits
sometimes broc. or caulif.
I also like pea pods or snow peas or fresh green beans or asparagus on it... but rarely indulge because they cost more usually!
I love macaroni & potato salad too but can't make them very well... my mother makes the BEST!!!
BEETS! We jsut recently ....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
discovered how to do beets and we LOVE them on salad with Walnuts, Goat cheese, avocado and a Balsamic Vinegarette.

raspberries or strawberries
blue cheese chunks
Pine apple
pine nuts
cheeses - any kind really
green peppers
cukes
RED onion THINLY sliced

Ham
Egg
Turkey
Cheeses

Onion
Cherry tomatoes
Sesame seeds
Bacon Bits

Potato Salad by Various
Can anyone help w/potato salad recipe?...

missmama:
I put mayo, squirt of mustard, celery or celery seeds (personally I like the seeds), salt, pepper, onion powder, pickle relish... mix all of these together in a bowl and check for flavor.... if the mix taste good, it will taste good with the potatoes... if you are making it in advance, i add a little extra mayo to keep it moist... it will soak in some by the next day...

i have never measured the ingredients...
i boil the potatoes, then in a bowl cobine mayo and mustard, salt, pepter, garlic powder, and a couple shakes of lipton onion soup mix (dh doesn't like it,) but i think it really gives it a big punch

Baked Pineapple by 1joyfulbelle
Baked Pineapple
Grease an 8" square pan.
Mix together 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of flour with the 2 cans of chunk pineapple that have been drained.
Pour pineapple mixture into the greased pan.
Mix together 1 stack pack of Ritz crackers that have been finely crushed with 1 stick of butter or margarine.
Spread the cracker mixture over the pineapple.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
This is almost like a dessert.

Egg Salad by Various
Anybody like eggsalad? Got a good recipe?
I used to go get eggsalad on a bage once a week. Then the place closed down.
I really want some good eggsalad, but the attempts I've made have been less than valiant. Ok - just not yummy!
Do you have a good recipe for egg salad that you really like. I know it's an acquired taste, so many will read this and think yucky. But I do appreciate any help!
TIA!
~Kate
mom2jak:
Chop up some boiled eggs, add mayo, vinegar, salt and pepper. Walaaa, you have egg salad.

«•´`•.(¸.•(¸.•* *•.¸)`•.¸).•´`•»
Mom In Missouri:
Here's the one I like to use
INGREDIENTS
6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 seeded or seedless cucumber, diced very fine
1 stalk celery, diced very fine
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper to taste
Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool and peel. For faster cooling, place the eggs in an ice bath before peeling.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, lemon juice and green onions, cucumber and celery. Chop the eggs into big chunks and mix gently with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, paprika and cayenne.
allbyz4me:
Eggs
Mayo(not Miracle whip)
Season Salt(just a lil)
Pepper(quite a bit)
This is a creamy seasoned egg salad, not tart or vinegary. I also do my chicken salad this way....Only use MW for deviled eggs here.
yakemama:
go with mayo ... not miracle whip for MY taste anyway.
i start out real bland and work my way up...
mayo, salt, pepper...
squirt of mustard
i usually add a smidgin' of curry pwd... lil bit at a time til i get it how i like it...
i've never added the vinegar before...
Yakky
Buckeyes:
I use miracle whip (mayo in a pinch), mustard, salt, pepper--and SWEET pickles. Not much, just some. Relish maybe, or chopped sweet pickles, OR can throw in some sweet pickle juice if you have nothing else.
This is SERiously good!
Buckeyes

Arctic Salad by illinibaby1
Not sure where this should go do we have a holiday side dish thread?
Anyhoo here's my DH's grandma's recipe that is my favorite. I made it for thanksgiving the first year after she died and it brought tears to my IL's eyes, not because they missed her, but rather it turns out that she and I were the only ones who truly liked to eat it!!! Guess all those years they were just being nice! FIL though still likes to see it on the table as a reminder of his mom
Arctic Salad
1 can cranberry sauce
9 oz can crushed pineapple
1 pkg cream cheese soften
1 tbsp mayo (may be omitted)
handful of walnut peices
1 small tub cool whip
Mix cranberries, pineapple, cream cheese, and mayo till cream cheese is in small lumps. Fold in walnuts and cool whip. Freeze ~6hr in bread pan or 8x8in dish. To serve let set out for 30 min to soften. Enjoy!
I also put some into baking cups for individual serving sizes. Yummy!

Cranberry Salad by Flautista
This was my MIL's recipe. I make it for my DH every Thanksgiving and Christmas
Cranberry Salad
2 3-oz pkgs raspberry gelatin (or 1 6-oz pkg)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 11-oz cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 8-oz can crushed pineapple, drained
1 16-oz can whole-berry cranberry sauce (I use 2 cups of homemade cranberry sauce)
Prepare gelatin as directed*, mixing the cinnamon and nutmeg with the hot water before adding to gelatin (this prevents the cinnamon and nutmeg from clumping together). Allow to set, then add remaining ingredients.
*If there is time, chill juices drained from oranges and pineapple--or freeze--and use instead of the cold water.

Ranch Dressing by Becky
I think this recipe was originally from the book Tightwad Gazette. I've been making it for years.
1 c mayo (NOT lowfat...doesn't work as well IMO)
1 c buttermilk
2 Tbsp finely chopped green onions
1/4 tsp onion powder
2 tsp minced parsley
1/4 tsp garlic powder OR 1 clove garlic (I always use more b/c we LOVE garlic)
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl (I use a canning jar and just shake it up really well in the jar). Refrigerate. Makes 2 cups.
