While Loomis says that this salad does not keep well and shouldn't be counted on for leftovers, she says that it's one of the most popular potato salads she's ever made.

Roasted new potatoes are soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside, tossed with a flavorful basil vinaigrette. Serve it with any your favorite main courses. If it's too hot to cook indoor, grill the potatoes over your barbeque instead.

Roasted pears are tender, juicy with delicious caramelization. The mixture of arugula and romain lettuce adds yummy peppery taste and some nice refreshing crunch. The toasted walnuts and Parmesan cheese give extra yumminess.

This light yet tasty Chinese veggie salad is made with bean sprouts, lotus root, carrot, cucumber, black mushrooms, and tofu sheet, then tossed with a soy-rice vinegar-sesame oil dressing.

This salad's presentation is quite lovely. The citrus vinaigrette is top notch and we use the leftovers for other vegetables. The combination of orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit really kick it up a notch. If you really want to impress your guests and blow them away with sophistication this is sure to wow them. Or just make the dressing and use it for other dishes and turn any ordinary vegetable into something special.

Love this mediterranean style pasta salad! Marinated artichoke hearts, olives, and feta cheese were a delicious combination. The cherry tomatoes and broccoli add the fresh taste, sometimes we add several strips of roasted bell pepper, or freshly sliced mushrooms, or a few coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
