Did you know that May was National Salad Month? The month may be over, but salad is a girlfriend staple. Especially in summer, it seems like we’re always bringing a salad of some sort to parties, barbecues, luncheons, and potlucks. Many of our girlfriends are eating light these days, so we thought it would be fun to do a roundup of favorite salad recipes. We’re sharing our favorites and some of our girlfriends favorites below. Share YOUR go-to salad recipe in the comments. And by the way, among our readers, twitter followers, and real-life girlfriends, we’ve assembled quite a delightful girlfriend salad. Thank you for brightening our days!

Dawn always brings this retro layered salad (recipe from Kraft Foods). Chances are, if you are of a certain age, you had this growing up. It’s not exactly low-cal, but people LOVE it. You make it the night before, so it’s a time-saver too.

Tina wins rave reviews with her Asian-inspired Ramen Noodle Coleslaw. The recipe is similar to this one from StartCooking.com. Crunchy and yummy, it always disappears!

Our twitter girlfriend @love2cookmb shared her recipe for Orzo Salad with Veggies We’re definitely trying this one – it looks delicious. Check our her fun blog, called My Italian Grandmother.

Girlfriend Biana Babinsky of Marketing Salad is a salad queen! She shared this Avocado Salad recipe on her blog Tasty Galaxy.
