Salad

Since gnocchi are made from potatoes, save yourself the hassle of cleaning and boiling all those spuds and make this salad with the same flavors and a dumpling that cooks up in a fraction of the time. Make the salad while the gnocchi are still hot so that they soak up all your dressing, then serve the salad at room temperature or cooled off, whichever you prefer. Serve with Rach’s Ultimate BBQ Burger with Chipotle Ranch Sauce or another burger of your choice.

This flavorful salad is a hit all year round for adults and kids, alike. A grown-up helper (GH) can assist young cooks with chopping, but kids of all ages will have fun adding the ingredients and tossing them together.

This refreshing salad has a delicious blend of flavors and textures!

This tasty version of mac ‘n cheese is a great way to try out asparagus (especially for picky eaters!), and the easy salad included in the recipe makes for a complete meal.

Serve this tangy salad with California Pasta with Artichokes and Almond-Citrus Pesto.

What can you do with that leftover salsa that you can’t reach at the bottom of the jar? Make this dressing/sauce, which is perfect for jazzing up pork, chicken or fish or for making a southwestern-style salad (you can even use leftover baked tortilla chips at the bottom of the bag to add some crunch to the salad!).

This easy, fresh-tasting salad goes well with a variety of pasta, chicken and fish recipes!

The grilled vegetables make this couscous special! Serve it as a side or on its own with assorted salamis and goat cheeses alongside.

Call Ripley’s Believe It or Not – this creamy, golden, sweet pasta is to die for! (But you’ll want to live on to eat it again!)

Rachael says, “This one is an updated version of shake and bake style chicken. The ranch dressing is made with buttermilk, which I always thought of as rich and fattening – not so! Buttermilk is very low in fat, as it is made from skim milk. This is one feel-good-about-it down-home supper.” Serve with Rachael’s Peeler Salad, included in the recipe below.

This delish pasta salad can even go to the beach with you because it has no mayo (mayo can spoil out in the sun if it’s not kept really cold all the time). It also makes a fun and easy cold supper on a warm summer evening.
