Artichoke, Potato & Red Pepper Salad
If you find yourself in need of a great, colorful salad for a buffet or antipasto, this one is made from cupboard ingredients and is assembled in, literally, minutes. This salad can be made from scratch, but not worth the extra work. It is exceedingly attractive, white and red and shades of green. Can be prepared 1 day earlier and stored in the refrigerator.
1 jar (6 to 7 ounces) marinated artichoke
hearts, cut into chunks. Do not drain.
1 can (1 pound) sliced potatoes, rinsed
and drained
2 roasted red peppers, cut into slivers. These
are sold in jars as Roasted Red Peppers.
1/4 cup chopped green onions
4 tablespoons lemon juice
In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients until nicely blended. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Serves 8.

Baby Red Potato Salad
You will love this salad on a buffet for its attractive and exciting colors. This is an adaptation of my Mom's potato salad so you will be enjoying the same delicious taste.
2 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes, scrubbed and cooked, unpeeled, in boiling water until fork tender. Do not overcook. Drain potatoes and refrigerate until chilled.
3 carrots, peeled and grated
6 green onions, finely chopped. Use the white and green parts.
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup mayonnaise
Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch wedges and place in a large bowl. Add the next 6 ingredients and toss potatoes to coat evenly. Allow mixture to rest for 10 minutes. Now add sufficient mayonnaise to coat potatoes and mix well. Cover bowl and refrigerate. To serve, decorate platter with green onion frills and carrot curls. Serves 8.

Corn Salad with Red Peppers & Chives
Corn salads are becoming more and more popular lately. This colorful salad is lovely to serve on a buffet.

1 marinated red pepper, sold in jars, cut into small dice
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves (no stems)
3 tablespoons Prepared Good Seasons Italian Dressing
1 tablespoon lemon juice
pepper to taste
Cook the corn for 2 minutes in a saucepan, with a few teaspoons of water and drain. In a large bowl, place the corn with the remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Refrigerate until serving time. Serves 8 to 10.
