I am going to a quilt retreat this weekend, and need to take a salad to share…one that will keep OK in a fridge! Got some ideas for me? Thanks in advance!!

Re: Need a salad recipe!
I usually do a pasta salad - I don't really have a recipe, I just kind of throw it together.
Rotini Pasta cooked (I usually use the tri-color) then add a bunch of chopped up veggies - carrots, green peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. You can add grape tomatoes cut in half if you like them. Then add a bottle of Italian salad dressing - sometimes I add an additional dry packet, if it needs more seasoning - depends on how much you make. Can also add Parmesan cheese.
If you want something heartier, you can add pepperoni or chunks of ham.
Have fun at the quilt retreat! I haven't gone to one yet, but they sure sound like a good time!Lisa

Broccoli Crunch salad is really good. It doesn't keep very long in the fridge, though. How long are you talking?"She who dies with the most fabric wins"

Re: Need a salad recipe!
How about three bean salad? My boss always requests it for our potluck party. Stupidly easy - three cans of beans. I wing it, but if you google it there are tons of versions. It travels/keeps well.My friends call me Peggy

Re: Need a salad recipe!
It is Romain lettuce, green onion tops, broccoli florets, toast walnut pieces and chopped up Ramen noodles in 1/2 stick of butter, let them cool and add to lettuce. The dressing is 1 cup of oil, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vinegar and 4 tbsp. soy sauce. If you make it, only dress half, once it is dressed..it wilts down."She who dies with the most fabric wins"

I usually do Greek or a Chinese chicken. I fry strips of won tons to go on that. You have to put the dressing on at the last min though. One time I mixed it in a parking lot. lol🌺 LorieComment

Re: Need a salad recipe!
Does it have to be a "Salad"? I have a Heath Toffee Candy Apple Dip served with sliced apples that just gets better and better the longer it sits. (I can never stay away from it for very long though). I always make it the day before I want to serve it so the flavors melt together more and more. Here is the recipe, just in case you could use it instead of a traditional 'salad'.
Heath Candy Apple Dip ( I always TRIPLE this recipe, but here is the original)
1 pkg Cream Cheese (When I triple it, I use 1 regular CC, and 2 of the 1/3 less fat kind)
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 teas Vanilla
1/3 - 1/2 Cup heath toffee bits (you will find them in some stores by the Chocolate Chips, The milk choc. ones are even better)
(When I make a triple batch, I just use the whole bag of Heath Toffee Bits)
Mix Well, then refrigerate overnight. Serve with apples and or carrot sticks.
I have been known to cut up two large apples to eat by myself with this stuff because it's so hard to stay away from!
Good Luck whatever you choose, and Have a Blast!sigpicMiss Sheri

Re: Need a salad recipe!
This is similar to what I was going to suggest.Originally posted by ilive2craft2 View PostThere is also the broccoli slaw salad - here is a link Broccoli and Ramen Noodle Salad Recipe - Allrecipes.com We make it without the peanuts.
My version of this salad calls for almonds instead of peanuts. Instead of uncooked ramen noodles, I drop them in boiling water for about a minute or two to soften them. I also add raisins and dried cranberries. By softening the noodles first, the salad keeps for several days - and in fact gets better.
Here's my recipe:
Broccoli-Ramen Salad
Bring water to a boil and drop in:
- 2 pkgs of Chicken Ramen noodles, broken, reserving seasoning packets
Let soften for 2 - 3 minutes and drain. Set aside to cool.
Mix together:
Noodles
1 bag of Broccoli slaw (found near the ready to eat lettuce)
2-4 green onions, sliced
4 oz sliced almonds
4 oz sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup craisins
Dressing:
Mix together*:
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/4 c vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 seasoning packets
*(I usually heat this a little in the microwave to dissolve the sugar.)
Pour over salad and toss. Chill in refrigerator several hours or overnight.DonnaComment
