A cool summer salad .

Instead of the full fat Cheddar Cheese Cubes I use 1/2 Cup Shredded Fat Free Cheddar Cheese. feel free to use low fat Italian Dressing.

A healthful, high protein salad using seasonal greens and basil.

Sometimes I add tuna or cooked chicken to this to make it a main dish. Delicious!

Soooo good. The nutritional info isnt exact, I just added the ingredients I used, but not the right amounts. I didnt use the whole chilli, probably just about 0.25 cups. It was superr good though! :)

I found this recipe in the Holiday08/Winter 09 Kraft Food & Family magazine. I made it for my family for Xmas & It was not only great, but very colorful. I added 1/2 of a red onion to the recipe & didn't take quite the care that is shown here in the measurements; i.e., I used entire can of chickpeas, whole small bottle of salad olives, whole basket of cherry tomatoes, whole small head of cauliflower, 2 large handfuls of green beans. I also used the Italian dressing I had on hand & added a little at a time until it tasted right.

This flavorful pasta salad is great dish to share at picnics and barbeques. The Barilla Plus pasta provides the protein and fiber of a whole wheat pasta with a lighter taste. Low in fat, 4 g fiber, 6.5 g protein, a good source of vitamin C and folate. Only 2 WW points!

One of my family's favorite dishes and it's light and nutritious!

Practically guilt free meal!

This was an instant family hit! My 3 year old daughter LOVES it!!!!

Just something I whipped up with what I could find in the fridge :-) Nets about 11.5 g. carbs with almost 6 g fiber!

I actually used the canned whole black olives they're about small/medium size and chopped them up. I used 8 wedges of Roma tomato which should be about equivalent to 4 x 1/4 wedges of a medium tomato.

I halved and modified this recipe from: http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/the-chew/reci

Layering ingredients gives a nice presentation in a glass bowl.
Make sure to use half of the greens first. Layer two ingredients + half of dressing. Add second half of greens and remaining ingredients, then top with remaining dressing.
