Here is a link to a thread I started last week on the same topic. You may particularly like the couscous salad if you are missing pasta salad this summer!

Here are several ideas

1. Tuna Macaroni Salad (P2)

Cook some whole wheat macaroni or similar pasta

Mix in 2 cans of tuna, drained

Add some light Hellmann's mayo

Can add some (vidalia) onion, chopped, for extra kick

Also salt & pepper

Refrigerate till nice & cold.

2. Cucumber Salad

Marinate sliced cucumber, sliced vidalia onion in

Mix of Vinegar & Olive Oil & Some Splenda, salt & pepper.

Marinate it at least overnight.

3. Tomato Salad

Slice some nice juicy tomatoes onto platter.

Sprinkle some good balsamic vinegar & extra virgin olive oil on top.

Snip some fresh basil on top, and also add 1-2 cloves of finely minced garlic, plus salt & pepper.

Let marinate at least an hour at room temperature.

4. Curried Chicken Salad

Cube some cooked, cold chicken breasts.

Add light mayo and a sprinkling of curry (to taste).

Add some fresh lemon juice -- about 1 lemon

For an extra touch, add some halved seedless grapes (I haven't re-introduced them yet but I think they're legal in Phase 2)

Chill well.

This makes a really nice dish to bring to concerts or plays in the park, or just plain old picnics!
