Two new salads this year. They went pretty quick - always a good sign for a debut recipe.
Potato and Macaroni Salad
(based on a Martha recipe)
boiled and halved fingerling potatoes
cooked and drained macaroni
sliced raw sugar snaps
lots of bacon bits
Dressing: Greek yogurt, olive oil, S&P
A slight tweak for this one: I wasn't crazy about the sugar snaps - the pea husks were a bit fibrous. I did like the color and the crunch, so I'll probably try snow peas next time.
Cucumber and Avocado Salad
cucumber
avocado
yellow and orange bell peppers
(all roughly chopped)
Dressing: red wine vinaigrette with lots of mustard
Nothing could be simpler. I'd never put these three things together but I think it worked out well. I think it'd be tasty with some toasted nuts sprinkled on top - maybe walnuts or pecans.
