Does anyone have any good cold salads recipes, you know like the ones you make and put in the fridge and can have anytime (up to a week)? Like a bean salad, but something else.

    I make one with quinoi, I got it off of all recipe.com........I also just like playing with the things I have in the fridge. Google texas caviar, it is one of my favorites and so good for you! I will add more if I can think of one off hand.

    Broccoli Salad

    Raw broccoli - stems trimmed and then florets broken into bite size pieces.
    Sliced mushrooms.
    Diced purple onion.
    (And, I also put diced bacon in mine)
    Toss all with 1/4 cup Newman's Own Light Italian Dressing.
    Chill for an hour before eating.

    Keeps for 2-3 days in frig.
