Many party hosts are looking for easy barbecue recipe ideas. After all, most people don’t want to serve the same thing at their summer cookout, year after year. While some of the traditional barbecue cuisine should certainly be included annually, here are some new ideas for you to try at this year’s party.
Watergate Salad
1) 16 oz can of pineapple (crushed)1) 4 oz box of Jell-O™ pudding (Pistachio)1) 8 oz tub Cool Whip 1) 16 oz of bag miniature marshmallowsMaraschino cherries (your choice to include or not)Coconut (your choice to include or not)
Drain juice from pineapple. Mix all ingredients in a bowl making certain to mix well. The salad is best if left in refrigerator overnight. Some people like the Watergate Salad with cherries and coconut—that is up to the individual taste. The recipe can be doubled for larger crowds, but a single recipe will feed approximately ten people.
Homemade Pasta Salad for Healthy Eating
Whole Wheat or Vegetable Rotini (1 box)Fat Free or Light Italian Dressing (1 bottle)Black Olives (to taste)Cucumbers: peeled and quartered (2-3)Grape Tomatoes (to taste)Grated Cheese (to taste)
If you love pasta salad but aren’t sure the store-made type you can simply pick up at the grocery store will work with your current healthy eating plan, making your own is the perfect option. After all, when you make your own you can add exactly what you like and take out the things you don’t care for at all. Adjust this recipe to fit your personal diet needs and desires. If you’d like, you can also add pepperoni to it.
