I am looking for new ideas for salads - so please share! :)
 
Do you mean for a demo, Jenna?

My three favorites to demo are:

Strawberry Spinach Salad
Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad

and my all time fav - 7 layer Southwestern Salad!


At home, I like to make a BBQ Chicken Salad.

Romaine, with shredded carrots, red onion, black beans, corn, cheddar cheese, and a grilled chicken breast - with a salad dressing made from half Ranch, and half BBQ sauce. Yummy!

Sounds great Becky! I was more referring to salad recipes for home.
 
Chicken Ranch Salad! (I'm not sure the exact name, but a PC recipe)
 
It's an older recipe, but the Caesar Pasta Salad is awesome (I don't even like pasta salad much and I really like this one). And it's very easy to add chicken to it if you'd like, so it can go from a "side" item to a full meal.
 
Mandarin Pasta Salad is awesome. It's an OLD theme show recipe.

could you please post your salad recipes? Thx! :)
 
Colossal Chopped Salad...PC recipe in past SB. Chicken, Pasta, Romaine and lots of veggies. Demos a lot of tools. Shows great in the 8 qt coll. bowl or the SA square bowl. It is also my 8 yoa grandson's favorite so if you can get an 8 yoa boy to like a salad .... it is a keeper!
