Great dish to bring to a summer cookout as there is no mayo involved. Leftovers make great lunches for the week.

My kids beg for this great pasta salad and I normally take this to summer pot-lucks. It's always a huge hit and it's so easy to make that I can wait until the last minute. I created this recipe from some ingredients I had on hand one day when I realized I didn’t have anything planned for dinner and it was too hot out to use the stove or oven for very long. We didn’t have any bread for sandwiches (a favorite in our house in the summer) and I didn’t want to run to the store. If you follow this recipe exactly, you will have a very large bowl that will easily feed 10 or more people for dinner. It’s a colorful dish that can be used as a side or a meal by itself. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family and friends do.

This salad is a delightful dish to have on a hot, summer day. Goes great with a wheat roll, and grilled fish.

Families have gone to war over chili recipes! I love a thick, meaty chili with loads of beans and vegetables. Thankfully my family agrees!

Watermelon is a favorite summer dessert, but it makes a lovely salad, too. Here, creamy citrus dressing pairs with the sweet melon and crunchy celery.

This crunchy cole slaw is a healthier version of that summer favorite: ramen noodle salad. Two servings of vegetables in every portion!

It'll be our little secret that this recipe isn't high in fat. It's so creamy no one will ever know!

Even kale needs some love. Massaging an acid-based dressing into the fibrous green leaves tenderizes them, making the healthy vegetable more palatable in its raw form.

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

Low Sugar, delicious Ribs! Can bake in oven or slow cooker.

Tender meat even from the toughest cuts! Red bell peppers have more vitamin C in them than oranges do, shitake mushrooms are high in vitamins, garlic and onion for the immune system...even though some sugars are included in this recipe (making the cal count high), most of them are not consumed.

Low-fat cottage cheese is the secret to the dressing in this delicious low fat and saturated fat, low cholesterol, low sodium mixture of vegetables and herbs.

A sweet, light salad.

This is a figure friendly way to indulge in potato salad and the flavor is absolutely divine. This salad can be served warm or cold and is great for a picnic (no mayo). I love creamy potato salads, but this one has such bold flavor, I don't miss the mayo (and neither does my waistline).

I'm taking a 4th of July menu from Allrecipes and trying to lighten it up. The original of this recipe had 179 calories and almost 13 g. of fat per serving.
