Pam's Chicken Salad

This is a great way to use leftover grilled chicken breast. This recipe was given to me by my sister-in-law. I have no idea who “Pam” is, but she gets credit in the title. If you don’t have leftover cooked chicken breast, bake four single boneless, skinless chicken breasts rubbed with garlic in a 350° oven until done.

Niçoise Salad

This classic salad originated in the south of France.

Indonesian-Style Spinach Salad with Shrimp

Greek Bulgur Salad

Try pouring 1½ cups boiling water over 1 cup bulgur, then let it sit 30 minutes to rehydrate. It’s now ready to add to your favorite summer salad ingredients, or to stir into a hearty soup this fall. You can also make a pilaf with bulgur, onion, carrots, and celery, similar to rice. Here’s a summertime main dish salad to try.
