Looking for summertime salad recipes thanks?!
Answers: Pasta salad with chicken or tuna, or no meat at all. I like to cook pasta (preferably elbow mac, or small shells), add onions, green peppers, celery, hard boiled eggs, mayo, diced cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Good stuff and easy to make. The longer it sets in the frig, the better it gets, although you may have to add more mayo as it soaks into the pasta.
chicken salad .... chicken shawarma and cellar they sell it at arabic restrants it so yummmy theres this one place named oasis grill its so good you can find it in San Dimas off the 210 exit sunflower in the big lots shopping center.... bellive me i eat there alot and its really yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!
A fun thing I do sometimes is go to the store without a grocery list and for instance pick up a bag of salad and look for a recipe on the back! Most items in the grocery include recipes on the packaging! Then you can get the other ingrediaents while you are there! I saw one on a salad bag once for a strawberry lime salad with a strawberry vinneagrette.
