Hi Melissa, Here are a few of my own personal favorites, that I have made many many times. I hope you find something to your liking.
BROCCOLI SALAD
1 head of broccoli 1 head of cauliflower 1 lb of bacon 2 bunches green onions 1 cup golden raisins Dressing: 2 cups Hellmanns Mayonnaise 4 tsps. vinegar 1/2 cup sugar
Wash the broccoli and cauliflower and divide into florets, do not use the stems.
Dice the bacon and fry till crisp.
Finely slice the green onions, discarding the tougher part of the green.
Combine the dressing ingredients and mix well. Put vegetables, bacon and raisins in a large bowl and pour on about half of the dressing.
Mix well, adding more of the dressing if needed. The salad should not be soupy.
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, stir well and add more dressing if needed before serving.

3/4 cup milk 1/8 tsp. pepper 1 (10 3/4 oz.) can Cream of Mushroom soup 2 (9 oz.) packages frozen cut green beans, thawed, or 2 (14.5 oz.) cans cut green beans, drained (I like to use French style) 1 1/3 cups French's French Fried Onions
In a 1 1/2 quart casserole, mix all ingredients, except 2/3 cup of the onions.
Bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes, or until hot; Stir.
