These salad recipes include pasta salad and potato salad, as well as garden-fresh veggie-based salads topped with chicken, beef, beans, and other protein sources for hearty main-dish salads. A leafy green salad starring seasonal ingredients makes a perfect light and refreshing meal. In summer months, feast on our fresh tomato salads loaded with bold flavors, such as cheeses, herbs, and vinegars. For a potluck dish that shines, turn to any of our tasty pasta salad recipes.
