Recipe Roundup: Salads ...

(Click on the Icon above to go to home of the Roundup!)

SPAGHETTI SALAD

1 lb. cooked spaghetti al dente
1/2 jar of McCormick Salad Supreme
1 16 oz. bottle of your favorite Italian Salad Dressing
1 large cucumber cut up in large dice
1 large green pepper diced
1 red pepper diced (optional)
1 onion diced
1 large tomato diced
1 can large black olives sliced thick
1 small block (1/2 lb.) mozzarella cheese chunked
1/2 stick of Pepperoni chunked
(or you can use the already sliced)

Toss all ingredients, cover and put in fridge.
Best made the night before but if you do I
use 1/2 of the 1/2 jar of Salad Supreme
and add the other 1/2 before serving.
I have also used fancy pasta's instead
of the long spaghetti noodles.
I also break the noodles in half
before cooking.

and also:

BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER SALAD

2 bunches of Broccoli
cleaned & cut into bite size pieces
1 head Cauliflower
cleaned & cut into pieces
1 lb. Bacon
fried & crumbled
8 oz. shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tbs. Vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine: vegetables, bacon and cheese.
In separate bowl make dressing by combining
mayo, sugar, salt, pepper and vinegar and beat very well.
Pour dressing over other mix of ingredients.
Chill well.
(I have also added frozen peas and it was really good, too)
