randomly add and delete stuff, like French Onions that you put on Green Bean Casseroles, that adds a crunch, sweet onions are cool too, even if you aren't an onion fan. Sometimes leave cucumbers out, sometimes add them in. I love Ginger salad dressing and I found a brand that actually makes a decent ginger, have to go to the fridge for the brand...  |

Caprese Tower salad: Sliced tomatoes, sliced fresh mozzerella (found in the gourmet cheese section, make sure it says 'fresh mozzerella' on the plastic label) and fresh basil leaves. drizzle it all with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sounds a little odd, but is awesome! -asylem_supastar  |

I've got a Greek Pasta Salad Recipe from the American Heart Association web site: Serves 8 1 cup per serving; 280 calories 43 g carbohydrates 6 g fat Ingredients; 1 12 oz. pk. tri-color rotini pasta (Doesn't have to be tri-color but looks appealing) 2/3 cup diced cucumber 1/2 cp thinly sliced green onion 4 oz. Feta Cheese 1 1/4 cp frozen baby peas, no salt added, defrosted 1 cp diced red bell pepper 1/4 cp light reduced-calorie mayonnaise 1/2 low-fat cottage cheese 1/2 cp plain nonfat yogurt 1 to 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper ___________________________________________ Preparation; Cook pasta in boiling water for 7 minutes.. Remove from heat, drain, and place in large bowl. Add cucumber, 1/2 cp green onions, feta cheese, peas and bell pepper. Set aside. In a blender or a food processor fitted with metal blade, combine mayonnaise, cottage cheese and yogurt. Process or mix until completely smooth. Add dill and black pepper. Pour over pasta mixture and stir to mix well. Cover and refridgerate until well chilled. It's good but I always cheated and adde extra cheese. |

I love onions B.Monkey - my mum often puts purple onions in her salad. I might try pickled onions, they are my favs. I need some new dressing ideas, i might see if the ginger one you mentioned is sold is Aus, thanks for the idea mate   |

Hi Sunny, I posted this awhile back, http://www.unsolvedmysteries.com/usm346819.html It is really good, but just a lot of work to make all the time, but you should try it at least once if you can't find any at the store. Good stuff |

hey maybe do the salad thing but have it in a wrap. or add salad cream, my friend loves that. its a bit like mayo sold in coles with i think an old lady or man on an orange or green jar? HOw bout some olives, you can get pitted olives in blasamic vinegar.. i eat the whole jar in one go! how about the purple oinions? Or like mix up the lettuce leafs. Instead of iceberg maybe try baby spanich. How about Stick of carrots or celery? Im a salad addict too :P  |

Fetta cheese, cucumber, red paprika, tomatoes all cut in little cubes, some italian herbs and olive oil. Always a great succes at my anual family bar-b-q party.  |

McDonald's has that new fruit and walnut salad. It comes with yogurt, too. It looks good, but I haven't tried it yet.  |
