It has gotten very hot in the last couple of days. When it gets hot, I like to eat things like cold ham or cold chicken with potato salad. Since I am trying to bring my weight down, I came up with this low fat potato salad, which is Weight Watchers friendly at 4 points per half cup, but still very tasty.

This easy quinoa salad can be put together in a couple of minutes. It requires a bit of thinking ahead…I keep a container of cooked quinoa in the fridge to throw into salads. It is tasty, and is only 2.5 weight watchers points.
I love tomato basil salad with mozzarella cheese and a balsamic vinegar dressing. It tastes so fresh and alive, and it is so very quick and simple to throw together.
For 2 people:
Assemble the tomatoes, basil and cheese in a bowl. Combine the oil, vinegar and honey in a small jar and shake well. Just before serving, pour over the salad and toss to coat evenly.About 4-5 points each.
You can add chunks of cucumber, zucchini, pepper, olives if you desire.
pear pecan salad with honey pear dressing
My cousin is allergic to strawberries and oranges, which are two fruits I frequently use in salads. When she invited me to a potluck dinner, where we would each bring a dish, and asked me to bring a salad, I was in a quandary. (I usually bring dessert type items). I put on my thinking cap, and came up with pear pecan salad, with feta cheese and grapes…and when trying to think what kind of dressing, I decided to try to make a honey pear dressing (it worked).
