Hot spring days in Oregon

This week it has been extraordinarily hot for spring here in Oregon yes I know its only been in the upper 70's lower 80's but for us Oregonians that is like 100 degrees especially in April we usually don't get this kind of weather until the end of June.Any way this heat wave that we are going through right now has brought out some of my favorite salad recipes because I don't want to make the apartment any hotter than it already is...so I thought I would  share them with you

Spinach Pasta Caesar Salad

1 bag of baby spinach
1 bottle of Caesar dressing
1 box of bowtie pasta
2 chicken breasts

bake chicken breasts at 350 for about an hour. cut into bite size pieces then mix all ingredients together.

Tuna Macaroni Salad

1 can (9oz) Tuna
1 box of elbow macaroni
1 c mayo
1/4 sweet relish
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp salt
half an onion diced
1 stalk of celery diced

cook macaroni according to box. mix all ingredients together refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. I like to make it in the morning and then let it sit in the fridge all day and have it for dinner.

enjoy!
