One of my favorite (non-diet) salads is
Broccoli Pasta Salad.
(I think you could substitute the mayo with a low fat version, but I haven't tried it.)
This recipe makes a HUGE salad, but it could easily be cut in half.
Broccoli Pasta Salad
cut up 2 bunches of fresh broccoli into bite sized florets
dice 1 medium red onion
cook 2 packages of pasta (I like the colorful curly noodles)
cook 1 package of bacon (break into small pieces)
Add optional ingredients like:
red grapes (sliced length-wise)
cashews
sun flower seeds
sliced mushrooms
Dressing:
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Stir the dressing in the salad and refrigerate.
We usually don't add the bacon and nuts until we are ready to serve it.
It is a tasty treat and people always ask for the recipe.
Did you enjoy the sun today?My tulips did.
It was great to do some yard work!
P.S. I couldn't resist posting this picture.
Isn't she cute?

Mmmmmm, I'm hungry for some of your salad!
I LOVE that salad too! mmmm. sounds so yummy. I enjoyed working in my yard today too. I am just mighty tired and sore now.... ah the joys of having a huge yard!
Thanks for sharing your recipe! I cant wait to go home and make it! PS I have tried a very similar salad with a low-fat and fat free mayo and it was awful. Maybe your would be better, who know!
Have a great day!

Your granddauighter is adorable.
She really is cute! I love brocolli and pasta and creamy dressings so I'll probably love this salad. I'm going to give it a try. Mimi
You have every right to post that shot. I'm going to pick up some fresh broccoli right now...
The rest I have.
Tulips are the best. Our first indication that seasons are changing.
