Usually, I can only eat green papaya at a Thai food restaurant as they never have it at the supermarket. But, they had it, so I quickly bought it and made something with it.Moisture will come out, so it's best to mix the ingredients with the seasonings just before eating. Recipe by Silver dappuru

My late husband wanted me to come up with a tuna salad with a kick, so here is what I came up with. It is a favorite recipe that my family loves.

I love to use what I have in the house when I get a craving for a certain food. I call them my creations, some great, some awful, some OK. This turned out really good. I love the beans in it, so filling and good for you and the crunchiness of the celery. You could do so many combos with this basic recipe, add heat, finely chopped broccoli, use creamy Italian, add meat and cheese cubes...hope you love it and let that creative you run free.

This is a new version of a Pasta Salad that I make often. The Dressing and Pasta typically remain the same in each alternate recipe, though the vegetables often change depending on my mood or what I happen to have on hand. Feel free to also use this recipe as a base and template, and then sub your favorite vegetables and ingredients. I will also be posting the original version that I make the most often. This new version turned out pretty yummy, so I wanted to go ahead and post it first.

I was getting bored with simple simmered taro, so I wanted to try it in a salad too.You can peel the taro root first before boiling them in Step 1.If you are using pork, you can leave out the grated ginger.If you add a little chopped red chili pepper it will be nice and spicy. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Miyumato

I had some potatoes I wanted to used up so I came up with this recipe. To keep with the half & half I did the same with the mayos. Enjoy!

I created this recipe because I wanted to make a cute tree.I love cooking with my daughter. She had a lot of fun cooking! For 1 tree, 16 cm in height. Recipe by Kodomoto Tsukuru Uchigohan

I wanted to try making this salad versus buying it for $8/plate. Much to my surprise this came out better!!!My kids love it raw cabbage and all!!!I add the chips to each plate so they don't get soggy. Also this recipe made so much, I had to mix it in my wok. Cut it down by 1/2 if necessary.

There are so many variations of this salad out there, and this is the one I've always used. Very easy to change to suit your own tastes.

This is my very own concoction. I had some fresh sweet corn in the refrigerator that I wanted to use and was in the mood for salad, so I combined some ingredients I had on hand and this is the end result. I hope you enjoy it!

I made this for my hubby and he loved it! 😘😘😘 (We were trying to eat less too in order to lose some weight 😅😅😅)

It was hot. I wanted pasta salad. I kept adding and, before you know, this happened. It turned out quite nicely! I didn't measure while I was making it, but my estimates should be pretty close. You may want to refrigerate it which will of course add to the prep time. -cdf
