This one is so simple it doesn’t deserve its own post: Chop up cooked chicken, cut grapes in quarters, chop up a seeded cucumber, and throw in some chopped nuts (I love almonds). Mix it with poppy seed dressing and you have the ONLY way I like chicken salad. I love it on buns or pitas.

Macaroni Salad

This makes a lot, but we eat it as a main dish.

16 oz. elbow macaroni, cook and drain, cooled ($.75 at Publix, BOGO last week)
2 med cucumbers, chopped, (free from my garden)
2 med tomatoes, diced, (free from my garden)
2 tbsp bacon bites, (Foodland, approx. $.50)
1/2 cup Miracle Whip, more if needed, (approx. $1.00)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all in a large bowl. Serve.

$2.25 if used as main dish.

Erin – Make some refrigerator pickles with your excess cucumbers. 1/2 waterm 1/2 vinegar, some spices (dill seed, celery seed, hot peppers, garlic cloves,whatever you like) and a tablespoon of kosher salt. They will keep for months in the frig.

This looks good, and I happen to have an abundance of cucumbers right now too, so I will add it to my list for this week!
