Cold Dog Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place 1 lettuce leaf on each of 4 salad plates. Place 1 pear half, cut side down, on each lettuce leaf. Cut prunes lengthwise in half with scissors and remove pits. Place 1 prune half on large end of each pear half for dog ear.
• Cut cherries in half with scissors. Place 1 cherry half on narrow end of each pear half for dog nose. Scoop out tiny hole in each pear half for dog eye. Place raisin in each hole. Add 2 orange segments to each salad for a collar.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions and set aside.
• Cut hotdogs on the diagonal into 1/4 inch pieces and combine in a mixing bowl with the chilli powder until pieces are evenly coated.
• In a pan on high heat, brown both/all sides of the dogs.
• Add hotdogs to the pasta with the beans and remaining condimants and cool in refrigerator for 4 hours. Could also be served hot I suppose.
• Try adding chopped tomatoes too. Also good to try without ketchup and adding saurkraut and extra mustard.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions, just until tender.
• Drain and rinse well with cold water.
• Meanwhile, cook hot dogs as desired- grill'em, boil'em or pan-fry; cool enough to handle, then slice into circles.
• If small children will be eating this, cut the circles in halves or quarters to avoid choking hazards.
• Combine mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and salt & pepper in small bowl.
• Place hot dogs and pasta in large bowl and add remaining ingredients.
• Pour dressing over and toss gently with two spoons until all the bits are coated with dressing.
• Chill for two hours or longer in refrigerator before serving.
