Here's a great sweet creamy salad. Not sure what it's called but I call it Della's salad because I got the recipe from her!

2 cups pretzels

2 sticks melted butter

2/3 cup sugar

Mix and bake this topping at 400 degrees for 6 minutes. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.

2 - 8 oz cream cheese

16 oz cool whip

Mix with 1 cup sugar

Blend in 1 - 20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained (or canned peaches or?)

Sprinkle pretzel mixture on top (I added some to the salad itself too just before serving.

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup creamy salad dressing (e.g. Miracle Whip)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

1 pinch salt

2 cups chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 onion, chopped

3 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cashew halves

1.Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and rinse with cold water.

2.In large bowl, combine brown sugar, salad dressing, lemon juice, vinegar and salt. Toss dressing mixture with cooked pasta, celery, green pepper, onion and chicken. Chill until ready to serve. Mix in cashews just before serving.

[reinhard1]

that would go good with leftover chicken for sure. good luck.

Blue Walnut Chicken Salad

1. One box of pasta - I prefer shells because they pick up some of the goodies in the salad.

2. Two fully cooked cajun style chicken breasts - diced.

3. One package of blue cheese crumbles.

4. Four roma tomatoes.

5. Diced sugar snap peas - whatever amount you like.

6. One small bag of chopped and roasted walnuts - I like about a cup of walnuts - but this can also be to anyones taste.

7. Frank's Red Hot

8. Olive oil

9. Cajun seasoning

Cook pasta and let it cool. Prepare chicken breasts and dice into small cubes. Add diced tomatoes, diced snap peas, walnuts and blue cheese crumbles. Add some olive oil like you would on other pasta salads - not too much. Put in some Franks Red Hot to your preference - I like to kick up the heat. Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.

I really like this salad because it is served cold, but has some heat. I also like the crunch of the walnuts, snap of the snap peas and the tanginess of the blue cheese.

Anyone have a recipe for the Cub Foods broccoli and bacon salad? Or the Tequilaberry's salad?

[Fazerfish]

Just had a standard spinach salad last night, but to spice it up, we thru on some flavored chopped almonds, the Blue Diamond brand has a flavor called wasabi and soy sauce. If you haven't tried this, it is very good. Kind of tastes like a very good spicy hot mustard from a chinese resturant. I'm trying to think of more things to put these buggers on..very addicting..

[reinhard1]

BACON BROCCOLI SALAD

this is the one from the cub foods files you asked for:

3 tbls prepared mustard

6 cups broccoli florets

1/2 cup raisins

6 slices crisp bacon

1/4 cup salted peanuts

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tbls sugar

cut broccoli into small pieces and add raisins, bacon, and peanuts. mix together dressing and stir in broccoli mixture. refrigerate. good luck.

[Leaky]

Also love a good spinach salad. My newest favorite is with a few craisins on the salad. I like the tartness of the craisin and the texture better than a raisin

Ham and Cheese Pasta Salad

1 lb box large ring noodles

1 1/2 cups Land O'Lakes Cheese cut into 1/2" cubes (must be Land o' Lakes, do not sustitute Velveeta or something softer)

1 diced medium onion (more or less depending on your taste)

1 1/2 cup celery cut into 1/2" pieces

2 cups diced ham

2 packets dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

2 cups mayo

2 cups milk

Mix up ranch dressing mix, mayo and milk and refridgerate. Cook and cool noodles. Mix noodles, onion, ham, cheese, and celery. If you plan on serving it for an evening meal, pour the dressing over it in the morning before you leave for work, if it is for lunch, do it the night before. Refridgerate after combining all the ingredients. If you have a little time for the dressing to actually soak in to the noodles and other ingredients, it develops a better flavor.

In the summertime, I often make this salad once a week. It goes well with fish, burgers, brats, you name it. If the grille is going, I am probably making it.
