Simple No Mayo Potato Salad

When I am asked, what to serve with grilled chicken or burgers, almost always I will say “potato salad”! It’s a staple in our house during summer. My Instant Pot Potato Salad is always a hit! However, I do know that there are many people who just don’t like mayo.

So, if you need to avoid mayonnaise but would love to enjoy this classic dish, this recipe is for you! Simple ingredients, fresh herbs, and zesty vinaigrette make this healthy dish a hit. No mayo also means the salad will keep longer and it’s great served outdoors. Win-win!

This Fruit Salad is made with frozen berries, peaches, pineapple and mango and drizzled with honey lemon dressing! Great way to cool off during the warm months and delicious treat made with frozen summer fruit to enjoy during the rest of the year.

If you ever wonder: “What can I do with a bag of frozen fruit?”, I say: frozen fruit salad! I used the two most common frozen fruit mixes and tossed them with lemon juice and honey. While thawing, the fruit juice created the most delicious dressing! This recipe is a time and sanity saver, especially when you have kids or need something to serve your guests.

Simple Macaroni Salad

This Simple Macaroni Salad is the most popular pasta salad! Made with macaroni, eggs, vegetables and creamy dressing, this classic dish is a must for summer!

Serve this dish with grilled chicken, pulled pork or even fried chicken. It’s a simple yet delicious side that everyone will love!

When it comes to classic summer dishes, macaroni salad always makes the list. Most everyone knows it and loves it. It’s simple, yet absolutely delicious because the combination of macaroni (our childhood’s favorite pasta!), chopped veggies, and a tangy creamy dressing never fails!

This is my simple version of the classic macaroni salad. No vinegar, because pickle juice tastes better. No red onion because it can overwhelm the salad. No carrots because I don’t like the texture. I hope you enjoy it too!
