Summer is just around the corner. Time to start summer favorites. This macaroni salad packs flavor, veggies, loads of color and it's so easy to put together. Again these are staples in my house so never a need to run to the store to have a delicious side dish to your summer barbeque and summer dishes.

I had a lot of potatoes, so I decided to make this salad with them.Adjust the seasoning to taste. Be sure to wet the potatoes and carrot before microwaving, or the moisture will evaporate, and they will dry out! Recipe by Kachuei

I originally saw this idea posted by a friend on Facebook and thought it sounded like an interesting alternative to ham salad (because let's face it ham can be expensive). I took the basic idea posted and modified it with some of my own changes and additions. It's actually really yummy!

Very easy salad that you can find in your kitchen...

You can eat a lot of vegetables with this dressing. It's my family's favorite.The key to making a delicious salad is to squeeze the excess water out from the vegetable completely. Please mix in the dressing right before eating. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I saw the overpriced salad in the gourmet section of the department store, wondering if I could make one just as beautiful at home.Boil the noodles on the soft side so they don't overpower the other textures in the salad.Blended peppercorns have a nice, strong aroma, but I think straight black pepper works better in this recipe.This recipe makes a generous amount because it's so good.

Inspired by the fresh local produce I saw I wanted to create something fresh and new that I had never done before. We were very pleased with the results!

We all like tuna salad, but my family thought I was crazy for grabbing the oil-packed-tuna one day. So I figured I'd show them, made this, and they never went back!

Just listening to music with my cat here in Austin, keepin' it weird and progressive! I thought it was time for a new egg salad!

I always seem to be cooking potatoes in their skins these days, as I find it easier to peel them when they're warm, and they keep more of their goodness and flavour. That's what I've done in this recipe, too, although if I were using small 'new' potatoes, I'd keep the skins on.

Everyone wanted a different salad for a lunch so I took components from potato salad and egg and topped it with a tossed green salad garnished with crispy bacon, than for the green salad part everyone could canpick their own favorite dressing!
