Frugal Salad Recipe Contest

Now that it is fully summer, I am in need of some new ideas for dinner. I am really trying to not turn on the AC this year. It is starting to become difficult when it is reaching almost 90 degress already this year. So I need recipes that can be used for dinner either a main dish or side dish. I will be making all recipes submitted and the family favorite will win... a $25.00 barnes and noble gift card to buy a great summer read with. Just put your recipe in the comments section of this post. GOOD LUCK!!!! Deadline is June 10 2010. Winner will be announced by July 4 2010.
