Broccoli salad
Broccoli salad
1 bunch of fresh broccoli
1/2 chopped onion (red)
1/2 cp rasians
6 cooked slices of bacon, crumbled
1/4 cp sunflower seeds
1/2 cup poppy seed dressing and 1/4 cup miracle whip.
Might go lighter on the dressings depending on the size of your broccoli bunch.

Saw this on a cooking show....Grilled Lettuce
Take a whole head of Romaine lettuce and split in half lengthwise
Brush olive oil on the cut part and sprinkle salt and pepper
Grill until just limp.
Sprinkle lemon juice (optional)
We like the change from the traditional salad.

tuna potato salad! we eat it at every party!
cooked potatoes, can of tuna in water, pickles and pickled onions, boiled eggs, mayonaise
chop everything up in small pieces and mix!
Or pasta salad
Boiled bowtie/butterfly pasta, red pepper, can of corn, cubes of ham, red onion, parsley, mayonaise
Cut everything but the pasta in small pieces and mix with the mayonaise, its even better when the pasta is still hot when you mix everything, let it cool down before you eat it
Two very easy salads that are really yummie, and easy to make, with ingredients most people always have on hand

One of our favorites is so simple. Cut up unpeeled potatoes and cube onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot generously with butter. Either wrap in foil or put in pan and bake or grill about 45 minutes.
This is the best pasta salad I've ever eaten.
PASTA SALAD
1-16 oz. spiral pasta, cooked and drained
Sprinkle with 1/2 pkg. dry Ranch dressing
Add chopped green onion-3/4 cup
1/2 cup radishes, sliced
1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
2 cups broccoli flowerettes
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup sliced black olives
1 t. dill weed
1 bottle Ranch dressing.
Mix all together, refrigerate overnight for flavors to meld and serve. If salad gets too dry, add more dressing. With this salad, you can make as much or as little as you want and add whatever veggies you like.

I would really appreciate it if someone would share a recipe with me that is a tried and true sucess for a get together. Thank you all in advance.
