Salad recipes

A scrumptious pasta salad that's both healthy and easy to make!

Your kids don't eat enough veggies. Or they just hate brocoli. Or maybe they love broccoli either way you will want to make this salad. Everyone will love it. Great for BBQ, picnics, potlucks and just everyday side dish or lunch.

This is one of my absolute favorite things to make at this time of year. It takes almost no time to prepare, so I’ll whip up a big batch on my day off and then all I have to do when I get home is put it in a bowl or mash it up and put it on toasted bread drizzled with some olive oil. It also makes a great appetizer along with some homemade or store-bought pita chips. Honestly, when serving this as a dip or a spread, I don’t even bother taking out my food processor, I just use the bottom of a glass and mash it a bit.
