Hummingbird - I do love the changs noodle & cabbage salad, I was thinking of not doing it but it might be a good idea. Now that I think about it, the ingredients are easy, its just a matter of dressing it right before its served.
pasta salad - packet of pasta, cooked. 2xtins 4-bean mix. large tin supersweet corn. capsicum, diced. Salad or spanish onions x 2 - finely diced. 2 tins flavoured tuna (I like the sundried tomato flavour). Mix all together
Couscous & roast veg salad - roast a pan of chopped colourful veg - spanish onion, pumpkin, carrot, potato with some rosemary & sea-salt. Cook couscous, fluff with butter. toss veg (including rosemary) through gently.
good luck
Edit: dress up simple garden salads by adding rockmelon cubes.
Blanch green beans in boiling water and then refresh in cold water to keep them green and stop them from over cooking. Toss in pesto and place on platter. Sprinkle with persian fetta and finely chopped sundried tomato (or slithered almonds or anything you like).
