I love salads but I do not especially love making them. I don’t like the bagged greens as much as the fresh in a bundle ones. I especially like fresh spinach and either butter lettuce or green leaf. One huge helper has been this trusty salad spinner. I got one for us and another for my married daughter. You simply rinse your greens then tear them up and put in the spinner, add more water and spin! It spins the excess water right off so you don’t have soggy greens and your dressing isn’t runny and watered down. Then you can add all of your chopped veggies and some dressing and wa la! A wonderful salad! We only like to make as much salad as will be eaten at the meal, but we do go ahead and do the whole amount of greens and keep them in the spinner in the fridge. They keep well this way without getting soggy . So yeah unsoggy salads work for me!

These are so tasty we have even served them at showers and luncheons.

• 4 chicken leg quarters, baked or boiled then deboned and meat diced
• 1 bunch green onions, diced, use all but the very ends
• 1/2 bunch celery diced, including the leaves
• 1/2 sweet red pepper, diced small
• 2 cups mayo
• 1 t. Cajun seasoning, or more to taste

• homemade bread or rolls
• sliced tomatoes
• lettuce

Mix all of the top ingredients together and serve on roll with lettuce and tomato. Enough to serve a crowd.

This is one of our favorite summer dishes and a hit at every pot luck or covered dish supper. You can make it with or without the chicken.

• 1 box colored spiral pasta and one box macaroni, or two bags of wacky pasta
• 2 bottles of ranch dressing
• 1 diced onion
• diced peppers, any kind you like
• diced tomatoes, 2 or 3 or how ever much you want
• 2 chicken leg quarters, boiled or baked and meat taken off bone and diced

Cook your pasta according to the directions. Drain and put in fridge to cool. When cool, in large pot, add all ingredients and stir well.  That is it! Keep cool till you serve. Easy stuff.
