Creamy deliciousness (L)

My mom always made this for BBQ’s, potlucks and summer. Add extra ingredients or keep it simple. Double the recipe for large potlucks and cook outs.

One morning I was hungry and I thought these ingredients sounded like they would be good together. They were.

Cold noodle salads are some of my favorite quick and easy meals because they take very little time, are tasty and refreshing, and they're a complete balanced meal in a bowl!I used soba noodles today, but I also use rice vermicelli and angel hair pasta.The vegetables below are just the ones I had on hand today, but you can use all kinds of crisp/crunchy veg like red or green cabbage, mung bean sprouts, yellow squash, sugar snap peas, jicama, bell pepper... endless possibilities!And for the protein, I had a package of surimi (krab) on hand, but you could also use deli ham or turkey, precooked shrimp, or the breast from one of those storebought rotisserie chickens.For the dressing, you'll want to start on the low end of the measurements and adjust up if needed.For efficiency, start knife work after you start boiling the water for the noodles, and continue while noodles are boiling, and everything should pretty much be ready to mix by the time the noodles are ready! :)#eatmoreveg

First of all I don't like artichokes. You can substitute heart of palm. I cook for some picky eaters. They don't like romaine lettuce, can't blame them you gotta scrub it , and look it over carefully for little worms especially here in Florida. Some whine it has too much meat. Most don't like cherry tomatoes. So I diced tomatoes. The red pepper are the pimentos in the green olives. Leeks instead of red or white onions. They also don't like Pepperoncini peppers, or provolone cheese. So I usually don't make it, but when I do this is how. So if you don't say that it's a proper salad you come and cook for at least 12 folks, and if you do it better be to their liking.

My favorite summer munchie food!! Great to make and keep in fridge for kids go to!!.. Mine love!!. Perfect by pool!

This is a pretty, fresh vegetable salad It goes with almost any main dish and can be a main dish with an added meat..Its best to add the dressing right before serving for CT the best flavor.
