NOT YOUR MAMA'S PASTA SALAD
This is not your typical pasta salad, ergo the name I gave it. LOL My cousin brought this to a get together once and I was blown away. I have tweaked it some to my taste. For instance, she added garbanzo beans. I hate garbanzos so I omitted them. Don't be afraid to add things you love and drop others. You truly can't mess...

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta. Rinse in cold water to cool. Drain well.
- 2. In a very large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Add dressing. If you are not serving until the next day, I recommend withholding the tomatoes, cucumber and cheese until shortly before serving, to prevent them from getting too soft or mushy. As this sits, especially if you prepare it the night before, you will find it soaks up the dressing and you will need to add more. Start with one bottle of dressing and go from there. You want it coated well, but not sitting in a pool of dressing.
- 3. Note: I believe my cousin used kalamata olives. I like them ok, but I love green olives, so I use green olives in their place. Experiment with the varieties you love! Enjoy! P.S. If you want a healthier version, omit the salami and/or use chopped chicken breast.

NOT YOUR MAMA'S CHICKEN SALAD
I used to get this to-die-for chicken salad at a local deli when I nannied in Chicago. I've since been scouring the net for anything that even RESEMBLES it. Eventually I just gave up and called the deli, begging for the recipe, and they did give it to me. Especially for those "what to cook, it's too damn hot" nights when you're looking for something to make for dinner. Cooking time includes marinating and chilling. Thank you, "Don's Finer Foods" of Lake Bluff, IL!

Steps:
- FIRST: Prepare herb dressing.
- Using a hand mixer, beat yogurt and sour cream together well.

- Thaw skinless/boneless breasts, if necessary.
- Put them in a large, sealable container with 1/3 of the dressing and marinate in the fridge for a few hours.
- Cook on hot grill, but be careful to not OVERCOOK, otherwise all you'll be able to taste is the charred chicken.

- Toss with grapes, almonds, parsley, mayo and remaining herb dressing (amount of dressing varies to your desired consistency).
- Chill.
- Serve alone or on bed of greens with nice, crusty bread and a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade.

NOT YOUR USUAL PASTA SALAD
I created this salad because I wanted something with a little kick and a lot of texture and taste. This is a recipe you can tweak to make it your own. It keeps well in fridge and is best served cold as a side dish. You can add diced ham or even a can of chunky tuna to make a complete meal.
