Summer Salads

I thought a would post a couple family favorites and feel free to post your favorite summer salads! We are going to a lot of picnics this year, already been to a ton and hosted a few and these salads were hot!
I think this potato salad is pennsylvania dutchish... not sure though.
My mom makes this with 10lbs of potatos and it ALL goes at a picnic.

Very simple
5lbs of potatoes
1 dozen eggs
1lb of bacon
REAL Mayo

Boil potatoes until done, not over done though cause they dry out... peel with a knife when cooled enough (very easy when they're already cooked). Cut into cubes
Cook eggs hard boiled, shell and chop
Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces, then cook until crispy
After everything is cooled completely and cut up, add enough mayo to coat everything
If you're taking this to a party, don't add the bacon until you're ready to go... this way it will stay nice and crispy until served.


The other is pasta salad... I've seen so many variations but this one is sooo good!

1 box (1lb?) spiral pasta
1 deli ham slice, about an inch thick, about a pound, cubed
2 deli salami slices, about an inch thick each, about a pound total, cubed
sharp cheddar cheese, about a half pound, cubed
1 cucumber peeled, thinly sliced, then cut into quarters
cherry tomatos halfed
3 small bottles of red wine vinegarette... I use seven seas, 16oz each

After the pasta is cooked, cooled and rinsed, mix everything together. I put in 2 bottles of the dressing at first, let it soak it up and then add the 3rd if needed. You can play around with what you put in it... my brother adds pepperoni instead of the salami.

Sadie! I'd like your cucumber salad recipe if you don't mind!
