Macaroni salad recipe that has been in our family for many years. A staple at our cookouts and family get-togethers.
This is a potato salad with a cooked dressing--no mayo. It's a recipe from my Aunt Luella and has been used in our family since World War II,.
Okay, so I KNOW this recipe looks really busy, but with my sporadic taste buds and tendency to think of trail mix as boring, this is om-nom-licious, with only a handful of calories, a huge amount of Vitamin C, Manganese, potassium, and enough protein and fiber to get me through the days when I don't have time to sit down for a meal! Plus, it's very colorful, and it makes a TON. It's expensive, but it makes you feel like a million bucks.
A raw, tuna-tasting salad that has the heartiness and delightful stringy texture that we all love about tuna salad with the benefits of living whole foods!
Flavorful light salad with lots of textures. Has a slight Asian flavor due to the soy sauce and sesame oil.
A great snack if you are feeling you just need something small. I used coconut fresh that I shredded.

This one uses nonfat yogurt, low-fat mayo, cooked, chopped egg whites and finely diced tangy veggies like pickles, radishes, green peppers and whatever strikes your fancy! Adjust as needed... This calorie calculation is for one 1/2 cup serving but the recipe is for four- servings.
This is adapted from a Paula Deen recipe. I used light mayo and light cream cheese. Added garlic instead of onion and sometimes I used roasted red peppers instead of pimentos.

A riff on a Giada De Laurentiis recipe I saw on a comercial. This cold sauce is a great salad by itself. It is as good as it is simple.
