Easy Salads

If you're looking for some easy recipes, here's a couple for you:

Chicken Pasta Salad
1 1/2 cups Elbow Macaroni
1 large can of chicken
1 small bottle of Ranch Dressing

Pour pasta into saucepan of boiling water.  Cook for 10 to 12 minutes.  Drain and rinse in cold water until cool.  After pasta has cooled, pour into bowl.  Add chicken.  Pour the whole bottle of Ranch Dressing over it.  Stir to coat.  Cover and chill until ready to eat.


Easy Fruit Salad

Fresh Fruit (strawberries, kiwi, bananas, etc.)

Slice fresh fruit and mix with can of Tropical Fruit.  Sprinkle with about half of the vanilla pudding.  Stir until the fruit is coated and all the powder is dissolved.  Chill until serving time.

Here's an easy pasta salad recipe:

Tri-color rotini
can of sliced olives, drained
1/4 cup of red onion, sliced in small slivers (not chunks)
package of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
italian dressing

Cook rotini as directed, drain and pour into serving bowl. Add all other ingredients. Pour in dressing a little at a time...just enough that the salad is wet with the dressing. I make this the night before and it's just as good in the morning, but you might need to add a little more dressing before serving.

Yummy!!!!
