Don't forget that something fresh, vibrant, and crunchy is often missing from potluck gatherings; this easy salad will get gobbled up quickly because it satisfies on those levels.
This salad bar classic gets updated with multi-grain pasta and reduced-fat ingredients, less mayo and fewer eggs. Yet it disappears just as fast as the original.
We use crisp radishes for a bit of crunch and spiciness in this Crab Salad Sandwich. You can also use chopped fennel, celery, thinly sliced fresh apple, or matchsticks of jicama as alternatives.
"I’ve been bringing this refreshing salad to potlucks recently, and everyone raves about it. A sprinkle of brown sugar and nuts is a special finishing touch," says Marge Elling, Jenison, Michigan.
This Christmas Apple Salad recipe contains planters pecans, red apples, granny smith apples, pineapple tidbits, jet-puffed miniature marshmallows and more.
