Greek Salad

Greek salad is a delicious summer salad consisting of ingredients such as romaine lettuce, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and red onion. Like almost any salad, it’s all about the dressing. The dressing in this recipe is truly some of the best ever. It is important to allow the dressing to chill for at least 2 hours so the flavors can blend. There is a little prep work involved but in the end, it’s well worth the effort. If you want to add a little protein, sliced grilled chicken would go great in this salad. Enjoy.

Seafood Salad

Its summer and you can never have enough cold salad recipes. Here is the one recipe for seafood salad I have been meaning to post for awhile. This salad is perfect for cook-outs, picnics, and parties. You can use your choice of pre-cooked cold seafood . Imitation crab or lobster goes great in this salad as well. Some of the ingredients include bacon, avocados, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes. You can also add additional ingredients such a green onions if you choose. Enjoy.

Tuna Salad Sandwich

Tuna salad sandwiches are pretty basic and often disappointing… but this one is different. Not only does it consist of ingredients from a tuna salad but from a Waldorf salad as well. A quick glance at the ingredient list will tell the story if this sandwich is right for you. The crunch from the apple and celery add a nice touch to this sandwich, and the Swiss cheese tops it off nicely. There is a bit of prep work required but it is worth it. This recipe is perfect for summer and it can be prepared in advance for picnics. Enjoy.

Macaroni Salad

During the summer months macaroni salad is one of my favorite dishes to prepare. It makes a great side dish to go with grilled chicken or hamburgers or it can be a meal in itself. This recipe ranks on the top of my list for cold salads. You won’t find any seafood in this one, but for those that require meat there are ham chunks in this salad. Some other notable ingredients include hard boiled eggs and celery. The best part of this salad of course is the dressing. Mayonnaise just isn’t enough, Dijon mustard, dill relish and chopped pimentos are required as well.
