One of my favorites is green pea salad.
Thaw 1 bag of frozen peas
Dice one medium onion
Cut up 8 oz. of cheddar cheese (cubes about size of peas)
dice 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs
Lightly toss all together
Add enough mayonnaise to make it creamy
Toss again
Chill for about 2 hours Then serve
This is like eating the yummy top layer of 7 layer salad!
Enjoy!

3 Bean Salad
2 cups cooked green beans, 1 inch pieces
2 cans of other beans, like kidney, mixed, black
1/2 red pepper, ciced
1/2 purple onion, diced
Olive Oil and Balsamic....or Italian Dressing...or a combo of both...to taste...salt, pepper, oregano if you like
Delicious Pasta Salad
cook 1/2 package of tri colour fusilli or rotini pasta, cool
Add:
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 small package of artichoke, drained
1/2 pitted black olives, drained

Do you use a certain brand of dressing. I would rather try one that someone else likes, if I choose one on my own it would be the dud choice !!!

This one is festive, is served at a dinner theater I've been to and is VERY good! I says serves 8, but at a buffet, it'll serve a lot more.
Grape Salad (serves 8)
Ingredients
4 pounds seedless green grapes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Wash and dry grapes. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Add grapes and mix until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate until serving
This recipe is actually better the 2nd day…
