Salads+One More Recipe

 I've posted a few dozen salads on pinterest that I've shared on my blog.  You can find those recipes here. It's January, that time of year I start working through the salad recipes.  Sure, some of them are higher in calorie, but some aren't, and it's always a great way to disguise veggies in dinner.
...and...here is one more I tried out this summer....I have about 5,436 versions of macaroni salad.   This is another one I'll be keeping!
