Spring has officially arrived, and for many people, lighter meals are in order. Salads are versatile, tasty and combine different textures. They can combine fruits, vegetables, pastas, beans and meats, and they can easily be created to incorporate flavors from other parts of the world. Whether as a side dish or as the main course, a salad is perfect for those times when you want something light. Check out these suggestions for salads from Recipes Remembered, a publication of the Star Journal that highlights three decades of readers’ recipes.

We’re posting recipes from readers on our website, so if you have some favorites you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. Simply email your recipes to starjournal@jcpgroup.com. We’ll post new recipes each week, so log on to starjournalnow.com often.
