Put the salads out on a buffet and let everyone serve themselves. Make sure you keep an eye on the salads - don't leave them out at room temperature for more than two hours; one hour if it's hot. You can put each salad bowl into a larger bowl or tray of ice if you'd like. Then relax and dig in.
Summer Salads for Memorial Day
- Tangerine Cooler
Tangerine concentrate can be tough to find. If you can't find it, use any flavor you'd like that pairs well with lemonade. - Chicken Pesto Tortellini Salad
This is my newest salad recipe and I love it. Tortellini along with tender chicken is mixed with a pesto buttermilk dressing and lots of fresh veggies. - Chicken Melon Salad
This super simple five ingredient salad is wonderful. There's something about the combination of sweet and juicy cantaloupe with pasta, chicken, and a sweet dressing that's magic. - Raspberry Turkey Salad
This salad is very special. The dressing has just a hint of mint, which makes everything taste so fresh. And the strawberry and raspberry combination is fabulous. - Seven Layer Salad
Remember when layered salads were really popular? Well, it's time to bring them back. This one is perfect, with lots of cheese, baby spinach, and bacon. - Tortellini and Fresh Corn Salad
This beautiful salad is another favorite. You can make it with frozen corn that you just thaw if you can't find fresh corn on the cob. - Chicken Pesto Spinach Salad
I think this was the first pasta salad I ever made, and it's still a favorite. The spinach helps stretch the expensive pesto and keeps it nice and green. - Basil Cheese Breadsticks
If you like cheesy breadsticks, this is the recipe for you! Tons of butter and cheese drench sourdough bread, then the whole thing is grilled. - Easy Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is a classic summer recipe, and it's the perfect way to end this wonderful dinner.
