I'm looking for something different to serve other than slaw or potato salad. Any ideas?

[color:"blue"]Deb's Macaroni Salad[/color] We just made this one last weekend... very refreshing! bunch of different flavors and crunch going on... serve ice cold...
1 lb. macaroni, cooked al dente 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped 1/4 cup of shreded carrots 1/3 cup chopped onion 1 small can of sliced black olives (about 1/4 cup) 1/2 cup broccoli florets, chopped small 2 celrey stalks, chopped (optional) s&p to taste mayonnaise... not too much, add by the heaping tablespoon... I start with four... and add one at a time after that... I don't like to make it "soupy"... if you use celrey, the salt will bring out a lot of moisture, so I always omit it...
we use Ronzoni "Smart Taste" macaroni, 7 grams of fiber per serving... very good too... we also use Hellman's Canola Oil Mayo...

I got this from the Fresh Market website. It is great!
ULTIMATE SALAD
Ingredients:
6 ounces spinach leaves, rinsed and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 avocado, diced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 - 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons red raspberry jam, seedless
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup walnut oil
salt and pepper
Preparation:
In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, cranberries, blue cheese, tomatoes, avocados, onion, and walnuts. Set aside in refrigerator. In a small bowl whisk together jam, vinegar, walnut oil, pepper, and salt. Taste and adjust amounts to suite your taste. Refrigerate until serving. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat spinach. Can add diced yellow and orange peppers.

How about a nice broccoli salad?? I don't have my recipe here, but there are several broccoli salad recipes online, which is where I got the one I use. It's broccoli, red onion, bacon, cheddar cheese, with a mayo dressing. I usually add red and or yellow pepper also, for color.

Not sure if you are a fan - but what about a nice coucous salad? add lemon juice, chopped roma tomatoes & cucumbers, chopped Italian parsley to cooked couscous - or add olives, feta cheese, fresh basil, maybe a chopped tomato a little drizzle of olive oil... you get the idea
What ever you do - enjoy the day

They've been serving that recipe on the boat for a bunch of years to bunches of BVI visitors, so it must be pretty darn good! I enjoyed it a lot on the boat. Not QUITE as good at home, but still very good! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />
