Howdy! Oh, thanks for asking!

A simple salad w/ a tropical touch; we ate it first in Granbury, Tx so we call it... Granbury Salad. Greens, whatever lettuce you like and some fresh spinach Cubed cooked ham 1/2 - 1 cup Chopped pecans 1/4 - 1/2 cup Chopped pineapple 1/2 - 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese -- 1/2 cup or so really good Thousand Island dressing I use about 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice in the dressing, mix it up, pour it over the rest of the ingredients which have been cleverly and creatively tossed together. The Granbury tea shop serves this salad w/ some fabulous homemade buttery garlic croutons. YUM!!!

Now you've gone and done it, She: I want some! ;-D

Last week I made a carrot-cranberry-pecan salad that disappeared lickity split.

Grate 4-5 carrots. Add a couple of handfuls of dried cranberries and a couple of handfuls of chopped pecans. Stir in just enough mayo to barely coat, and salt to taste. I use soy mayo, which has the added benefit of being okay at room temp for a while.

You could sub raisins for the cranberries, and any nut you like for the pecans, and it's still good.

This isn't necessarily an inexpensive salad to make, but it's easy and very delicious. I can't provide exact measurements for all ingredients so you'll have to use your best judgement, depending on how many people you need to feed.

SHRIMP & BOW-TIES SALAD

cooked shrimp, tails removed baby leaf lettuce (specifically!) torn into bite size pieces cherry tomatoes, halved manderine orange slices (canned & drained) bow-tie pasta, cooked and chilled (use the smallest size you can find and allow perhaps 1 oz. uncooked per person) walnut halves top with parmesan cheese, freshly grated or the 'fancy' kind

citrus (or raspberry) vinagarette dressing

here's a good Orange-Walnut Salad that my daughter has made:

**4*5&wf=9&recipe_id=55015 Julia in MN

Roasted Pumpkin, Green Bean and Feta cheese salad.

Roast some cubed pumpkin in a hot oven (lightly sprayed with olive oil) until just tender and boil some green beans until just tender too. Chop some Greek Fetta cheese and mix all together. Toss with a light vinnigrett (sp?) and some pine nuts - mmmmm yummy

Dutch Beetroot salad:

Take one 300g pack of smoked mackerel fillets: flake off the skin into a bowl

Add 400g diced beetroot (NOT the pickled kind!)

Mix to a purple glop with 150g of 0% fat Greek yoghurt. Serves 4 for a main course.

Greek Salad:

5 large tomatoes, diced 1 cucumber, diced 40 black olives, halved 200g Feta cheese, cubed 1 pot of fresh basil leaves, shredded a drizzle of olive oil and red wine or Balsamic vinegar

Mix and serve!

Thanks! You guys have given me some great salads to try. Thanks! If anyone else has some keep sending them I can always use a good recipe!

Not a salad but a very easy salad dressing - was a hit here at our last luncheon and Maree was kind enough to pass the recipe on.

2 tblspns veg oil 1 teaspn sesame oil 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tblspns light soy sauce 1/4 cup lime juice 1/2 teaspn sugar 2 teaspns sambal oeler (I assume this is available anywhere!?) 2 cloves garlic

A nice spicy dressing without requiring fire extinguishers. On the day Maree didn't have any limes so she used lemon juice.

Egg Ring Noodle Salad =A0

1 Cello pkg. of radishes 1 cucumber ( remove the center) 1 lge. onion 4 stalks of celery 1 med. green pepper 1/2 cup of mayonnaise or more 1 box of Prince egg ring noodles, or any very tiny little ring noodles or mini macs. Salt & pepper =A0 Cook the pasta as directed on the package and then rinse them in cold water. Chop all the vegetables very fine. Mix cold pasta, vegetables & mayonnaise together. Salt & pepper to taste

I had a Spinach, Strawberries, and sliced almonds salad once with a light vinaigrette which had everyone going back fro seconds. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact recipe, but it would be easy to make up on the spot

Cathy > I have to make a salad for or guild meeting. We are having a relaxed

There is a salad we seem to have at every family gathering to which I gravitate over and over and over and...well you get the point. It's got finely shredded either chinese cabbage or lettuce, the crispy fried noodles, and the most amazing dressing I have ever had in my life. There are just no words to describe this - one day I'll actually get around to making it!!
