MAKE THIS NOW: Summer Salads
Fourth of July is right around the corner and that got my stomach growling for some good ‘ol American-style salads. Pasta, potato, fruit, macaroni… you name it and I love it. I made this Pinterest board full of the good stuff as I was searching the web for recipes. Talk about food porn… Check it out.
Which one should I bring to my Fourth celebrations? Which ones do you want to try?

Now that it actually is the fourth of July... Which salad did you pick? Which one will you bring to your Fourth celebration? -

Yum! I would go with the Red Potato Salad and the Watermelon, mint and Asiago cheese. The corn looks good too -- as long as it's fresh summer corn!
One of my favorite tricks with potato salad is to toss the potatoes with a vinaigrette dressing(preferably with some sugar added) before they cool off. It keeps the potatoes from darkening and also blends the vinegar all the way through. Much smoother. Add the chopped herbs after refrigerating the dressed potatoes for a few hours.
I'm becoming a big fan of fruit as a main dish addition. Strawberries and mangoes with baby spinach or Bibb lettuce, dried or fresh fruit added to chicken dishes, and in summer, pureed fruit soups. -

I'd go with the layered salad, the pasta salad, the red potato salad, the macaroni salad...

They all look delicious but the corn one caught my eye. I love corn, I could happily live off it for the rest of my life. nom! -
They all look pretty good. I think for me I would probably make and or take a fruit salad something cold and light. Hope you have a great Fourth of July!
