Summery Salads
Your website and recipes are AWESOME!!! Could you, please, add recipes for mayo potato salad, pea salad and macaroni salads? Thanks so much.
--Kathy
Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much for you kind words! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the site.
And, oh yes, I also love cool salads this time of year! And I’ve got quite a few recipes that you might be interested in: my Pea Salad in Tomatoes is a lovely salad, stuffed in fresh tomatoes, of baby peas, Cheddar cheese, and hard-cooked eggs in a mayonnaise dressing.
As for a mayo-based potato salad, I’ve got plenty of potato salads on the site, but none, alas, that have a mayonaisse dressing. But the good news is that our sister site, EasyEverydayCooking.com, has a terrific mayonnaise-based potato salad: Dilled Potato Salad. I think you’ll like it!
And for a macaroni salad, you might want to try a recipe on our sister site, CookingVillage.com, called Creamy Macaroni Salad. It has a mayo/sour cream dressing, and it’s enlivened with vinegar, pickle relish and mustard. You might also like my Chilled Rotini Toss with a mayo and sour cream dressing and, in a timesaving stroke of genius, bottled Italian salad dressing to spice things up. Feel free to use macaroni or any other pasta in the salad, and veggies of your choice.
Hope these recipe suggestions help you keep cool this summer!
