The dressing is so good!!The only change I made was I didn't use cucumbers and added garbanzo beans. I also doubled the dressing to have some of needed later. I will definitely be making this again!!" — Julie Heim View Recipe 02 of 15 Granola Bars Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Great recipe – I make this every Sunday to last us through the week. I bake for 6 to 7 minutes at the end so they still hold their shape. Thanks for the recipe!" — Anna View Recipe 03 of 15 Party Pinwheels Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Delicious and a party favorite. When I ask what I should bring to a party, everyone requests pinwheels. This recipe is awesome as it is, but there are literally tons of variations that you can try on your own, or by looking at other reviews. I make them a day before I cut them and they cut nicely when they're cold." — Rvines1003 View Recipe 04 of 15 Barbie's Tuna Salad DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS "My go to tuna salad recipe. Been making this for couple years now. It's so good, and the flavors are just right. The curry is the secret ingredient that really makes it so good. Would have never thought of it myself. The family really loves it. I usually make a quadruple batch, and have it for snacking for several days!" — Wkreeg68 View Recipe 05 of 15 Super Summer Kale Salad Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Excellent salad even if you're not crazy about Kale. I followed the recipe exactly and it was very delicious. It's become a requested dish at pot lucks." — Lulu4696 View Recipe 06 of 15 Mango Salsa DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS "I made this and didn't change a thing. It was spectacular. I made it to top some blackened grilled grouper, but we ate the leftover salsa with chips later on. So good. A new staple in the house." — Genelady825 View Recipe 07 of 15 Frittata Wrap with Ham and Cheese Stasty Cook "A very nice idea for a lunch on-the-go. I skipped the broiler part and cooked it like a regular frittata flipping it over to cook it on both sides. Thank you for the recipe." — Buckwheat Queen View Recipe 08 of 15 Watermelon Salad ALLRECIPES / QI AI "What a great way to serve a little taste of summer. The cucumbers, the feta and of course, the watermelon come together to have such a refreshing salad. It’s the kind of salad where you feel like you could eat the whole bowl, it’s that light." — LovesCooking View Recipe 09 of 15 Homestyle Potato Chips Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Awesome recipe! Super easy, too. I had the idea to look up how to make chips after accidentally slicing way too much potato for dinner and trying to figure out what else to do with the slices. This worked perfect." — Percy Lee View Recipe 10 of 15 Homemade Pita Chips Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "These pita chips were so good and so simple to make. You can really use whatever spices you like. My daughter loved them and said they were way better then the store bought pita chips. Will be making these regularly." — DBellino View Recipe 11 of 15 Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Very good recipe, my mother is Greek and this [recipe] is like home. Only a couple changes, I omitted the olives and just had a side of olives with pit, just a preference. I also added dill, turned out well!" — Mary Davies View Recipe 12 of 15 Best Fruit Dip DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS "Have made this recipe many times and it is loved by all. Very simple. The only change I did was to use the strawberry flavored cream cheese. Gives it a nice color when blended with the marshmallow fluff." — Donna View Recipe 13 of 15 Club Sandwich Wrap Hack "I love clubs and this was a creative idea for having one. I had turkey bacon instead, and diced my tomatoes. Perfect!" — Michelle Vignail View Recipe 14 of 15 Perfect Summer Fruit Salad Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Yummy fruit salad! I made this fruit salad recipe for a family get together and it worked great! I forgot to add vanilla into the sauce but it still tasted great! Since I was in a bit of a rush, I just mixed orange juice with a bit of lemon juice. Delicious!" — Carolyn Bennett View Recipe 15 of 15 Cowboy Caviar Unknown "This is my go-to recipe. I love to make this for lunch at work and for family functions. It's delicious. You can make it hotter by using jalapenos or you can make it mild by using green chiles. Delicious! Love it! It also makes a huge portion." — Carol View Recipe More Inspiration 15 Thirst-Quenching Summer Punch Recipes 45 Summer Air Fryer Recipes Our 15 Best Air Fryer Snack Recipes Are So Delicious You Won't Want to Share Was this page helpful?
