Spice UpYour Salad

Salads can be great for lunch or dinner! Instead of grabbing a prepared salad in Newhouse’s food.com, try using your own ingredients to make something different than your ordinary greens!

Food Network’s Squash and Orzo Salad:

“Sauté zucchini, yellow squash and scallions in olive oil until tender. Toss with cooked orzo, parsley, dill, goat cheese, salt and pepper.”

Food Network’s Three-Bean Salad:

“Boil 1/3 cup cider vinegar, 1/4 cup each sugar and vegetable oil, and salt. Pour over green and wax beans, kidney beans and red onion slices; marinate 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper; top with parsley.”

These salads are a welcome break from the boring selection offered in dining halls and are sure to leave your taste buds begging for more! Squash is in season, so take advantage of it!
