Pasta Salad with Homemade Dressing

Party Pinwheels
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
"Delicious and a party favorite. When I ask what I should bring to a party, everyone requests pinwheels. This recipe is awesome as it is, but there are literally tons of variations that you can try on your own, or by looking at other reviews. I make them a day before I cut them and they cut nicely when they're cold." — Rvines1003
Barbie's Tuna Salad
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
"My go to tuna salad recipe. Been making this for couple years now. It's so good, and the flavors are just right. The curry is the secret ingredient that really makes it so good. Would have never thought of it myself. The family really loves it. I usually make a quadruple batch, and have it for snacking for several days!" — Wkreeg68
Super Summer Kale Salad

Mango Salsa
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
"I made this and didn't change a thing. It was spectacular. I made it to top some blackened grilled grouper, but we ate the leftover salsa with chips later on. So good. A new staple in the house." — Genelady825
Frittata Wrap with Ham and Cheese
"A very nice idea for a lunch on-the-go. I skipped the broiler part and cooked it like a regular frittata flipping it over to cook it on both sides. Thank you for the recipe." — Buckwheat Queen
Watermelon Salad
ALLRECIPES / QI AI
"What a great way to serve a little taste of summer. The cucumbers, the feta and of course, the watermelon come together to have such a refreshing salad. It’s the kind of salad where you feel like you could eat the whole bowl, it’s that light." — LovesCooking
Homestyle Potato Chips
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
"Awesome recipe! Super easy, too. I had the idea to look up how to make chips after accidentally slicing way too much potato for dinner and trying to figure out what else to do with the slices. This worked perfect." — Percy Lee
Homemade Pita Chips

Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
"Very good recipe, my mother is Greek and this [recipe] is like home. Only a couple changes, I omitted the olives and just had a side of olives with pit, just a preference. I also added dill, turned out well!" — Mary Davies
Best Fruit Dip
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
"Have made this recipe many times and it is loved by all. Very simple. The only change I did was to use the strawberry flavored cream cheese. Gives it a nice color when blended with the marshmallow fluff." — Donna
Club Sandwich Wrap Hack
"I love clubs and this was a creative idea for having one. I had turkey bacon instead, and diced my tomatoes. Perfect!" — Michelle Vignail
Perfect Summer Fruit Salad
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
"Yummy fruit salad! I made this fruit salad recipe for a family get together and it worked great! I forgot to add vanilla into the sauce but it still tasted great! Since I was in a bit of a rush, I just mixed orange juice with a bit of lemon juice. Delicious!" — Carolyn Bennett
Cowboy Caviar
"This is my go-to recipe. I love to make this for lunch at work and for family functions. It's delicious. You can make it hotter by using jalapenos or you can make it mild by using green chiles. Delicious! Love it! It also makes a huge portion." — Carol
