Hey Joanne:
  Here's a couple to get you started.  My only problem is that I don't
measure much of anything -  Salad dressing - olive oil and lemon juice
in a three to one ratio, about 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, a couple of
slices of fresh onion , approx. 2 gloves garlic and about 2 tsps
mustard.  Whirl in the blender and toss with hot, nuked broccoli
florets.  Of course it can be used on salad too.

 Carrot salad - I buy the packaged shredded carrots at the store.  Put
the carrots in a microwave veg. cooker, along with a handful of golden
raisins.  Nuke for 3 mins. at 40% power.  Drain and let cool a little.
This is just to make the carrots a softer and more receptive to the
dressing.   You can also pour some boiling water over  the carrots or
just leave them plain and crunchy. Toss in a can of  drained pineapple
chunks - the kind in their own juice - and some sunflower seeds or
walnuts.  Mix about 2 tablespoons of the drained pineapple juice with
mayo and toss with all the rest.  This same juice -thinned mayo is great
for fruit salad.
