Linguine salad/4 recipes

A very different twist on tradional pasta/macaroni salad. Loaded with ingredients, this could be a meal in itself.

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.

A classic German style potato salad that is served warm. Perfect for Octoberfest.

Quick, easy marinated ginger beef strips. Asian inspired steak strips glazed in a ginger honey soy sauce with green peppers served over rice.

Much better than classic Macaroni and Cheese. This version still has lots of cheesy flavor but is baked with juicy tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. Serve with a simple salad and make with whole wheat macaroni for a serious boost to the health value that's packed with flavor. A great family casserole.

Fresh vegetables and udon noodles are tossed with creamy, tangy and flavorful Asian peanut sauce that's made with peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and a little minced garlic, ginger. It's a wholesome yet delicious dish that's quick and easy to put together.

We make this pasta salad all the time. It's loaded with the delicious flavors. Sometimes we add some steamed broccoli florets or asparagus, or a few freshly sliced mushrooms.

Great soup, lots of textures from the different veggies, fresh clean taste with lots of meat. Seems quite healthy as well, creamy without using cream and chock full of veggies.

Quick and easy to make, and it comes out very tasty. Couscous absorbs all the yummy flavor from the broth, then tossed with chunks of apples, dried cranberries, and toasted almonds. A light vinaigrette brings all the flavors together and makes it into a delicious meal.

Loved the idea of infusing curry, chili powder and cumin seeds in the oil, which made the curry oil so flavorful. The combination of apples, bell peppers, celeries, raisins, and peas (I used peas instead of snow peas) was delicious with the curried rice.

Also made this arugula salad. Sliced crunchy fennel, sweet orange segments, and black olives are gently tossed with olive oil, honey, and lemon juice. Refreshingly tasty.

This easy yet tasty Korean salad is so refreshing. It goes deliciously well with any of the main courses, Korean or not. Cucumber and radishes add some nice crunch to the salad that's slightly sweet, sour and spicy.

Roasted butternut squash and onions add tons of delicious flavor, roasted walnuts and freshly chopped basil definitely give the pasta another layer of yumminess. It can be served as a main course or a side dish!

Winter greens can be bitter but not when cooked this way. Perfectly complimentary flavors and belly filling warmness. If you've never tried collard greens before this recipe is more than worth the effort.

Crisp bacon, pan-seared scallops on a bed of tatsoi. Quick, easy and tasty!
