Auddah Salad

From Audra Armstrong:

Go to the deli department at any grocery store and get two slices (each)
of turkey breast and ham about a half-inch thick per slice. Cube up.
Cube up 1 pound of Colby-Jack cheese.
Dice up 1 whole cucumber
Dice up 3 Roma tomato's
Slice up or keep whole a can of olives
Boil a whole bag of cork screw pasta and once cooked drain water and let
cool. I usually just rinse the pasta with cold water and then let sit for
about 5 minutes to get most of the water out.
Mix all ingredients into a large bowl and then pour Bernstein's Cheese and
Garlic Italian Dressing (do not use fat free because it makes it taste
weird and I only use this dressing, I don't substitute because it's so
very good and perfect for the pasta salad) over the mixture. You will
probably only need to use half a bottle but add to your desire. Stir with
a spoon and you're done.
(This pasta salad is so yummy the next day because the meat marinates in
the dressing and it's quite tasty. But it also tastes very good right
after making it too. You can add other veggies you might eat, like
broccoli or cauliflower. My sister likes to add pieces of pepperoni to
hers.)

Best Potato Salad*

From LeAnne Richards

Serves 8-10

6-8 medium potatoes cooked in skins and cooled (Boil about 15-20 min.). When cool peel off skin and dice into chunks. Put in large bowl. Hard boil 9 eggs. Run under cold water. Slice 3 green onions and put in with potatoes. Sprinkle with garlic salt, Season-All salt and regular salt, and pepper until all potatoes are seasoned. Stir in 6 of the eggs peeled and chopped. Mix together 1 pint Miracle Whip with 1 Tbsp mustard. Stir into all ingredients until well coated. Place the last 3 eggs sliced on top of salad and sprinkle with paprika. Chill covered until serving.

Broccoli and Bacon Salad

Salad Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs broccoli, broken up into small bite-sized pieces

1 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup cooked chopped bacon (I just used the real bacon bits like from Costco)

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup pine nuts

Dressing:

1 cup real mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)

1/2 cup white sugar

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Mix salad ingredients together in a bowl. Mix together the dressing and add to the salad mixture 30 minutes before serving (I actually disagree with this part of the recipe - I think it has tasted better and better as it's sat in the juices, so I would combine maybe a couple to 3-4 hours before serving). Cover with plastic wrap (or like I did in a ziploc) and chill in refrigerator before serving. Delicious!

Easy Potato Salad

Like apple cider, I am picky about Potato Salad. There are three recipes for it on here, this one is my own making and not the best in the world, but good and, as the title says Easy! The German Potato Salad is a completely different style than your typical potato salad, and the Best Potato Salad recipe from LeAnne Richards is my all-time favorite.

Reser's - Northwest Potato Salad, from Costco
Hard boiled eggs, chopped
Dill pickes, chopped
Real bacon bits

Just add to your liking, possibly add some miracle whip or mayonnaise as you like.

German Potato Salad

From Lybbert Family

1 lb bacon, cut into inch pieces, fry on medium heat until crisp (drain oil throughout, and keep oil) – lean bacon

6 little brown potatoes, boil with skins, (with knife, no mush, no force) then peel, slice into thin circles (half first if nec.)

In the pan with bacon grease residue sautee 1 onion

Then add

½ cup vinegar

½ cup sugar

½ bacon grease

2 Tablespoons flour (to make gravy with other wet ingredients)

1 teaspoon salt

(if nec. Add ½ cup water to make gravy juicy)

Add back in the potatoes and bacon

Russian Salad

I was told this is the Russian equivalent to a green salad. Recipe from Jenny (then Landaker, not sure of her current last name)

Ingredients: Green pepper, onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes - slice all VERY

thin, except the tomatoes - leave whole, or just half. Add a dollop of
miracle whip or mayo (whatever you prefer), be careful not to add too much,
the water from the vegetables can make it too runny - you only want enough
to just barely coat the vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Very
simple, but SO good!

Shrimp and Pesto Salad

A recipe I duplicated, originally made by my Aunt Duane Gibb:

1 package of shrimp scampi (sorry, not sure about the amount - I get the
package from Costco)
1 package of bowtie pasta
Artichoke hearts (also from Costco)
Pesto (I get from Safeway)

Because I am not sure about how much of each, just use your best judgment.

Three Bean Salad

From Lybbert Family

1 can each of green beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans

2 cans yellow beans

1 cup sugar

1 cup vinegar

1 cup oil

1 onion – circles (thin)

Combine all in a large ziploc bag and let soak at least 24 hrs before serving.
