  1. I'm trying to eat more grains, so I made this with whole wheat pasta.. and my was it good! Even the DH, a confirmed white carb addict, loved it! I recommend buying the highest quality canned salmon you can find as the cheap stuff tastes just like tuna. The dressing is creamy and the yogurt gives it that tang that fat-free mayonnaise can lack. Thanks for the great recipe, Audrey M.
     
  2. This is a very good pasta salad! I used the salmon that comes in the foil packets and low fat sour cream instead of yogurt. I also added some Old Bay Seasoning. It is a light, refreshing entree for lunch. I served it with sliced, fresh tomatoes. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year. <br> <br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list. <br> <br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes <br> <br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks. <br> <br>Happy Cooking!
