Abstract: Quantity salad recipes that use USDA food commodities and that are suggested for use in the Title VII Nutrition Program for the Elderly are included. When using USDA food commodities effectively, menus under the Title VII program can be enhanced, especially when foods with the increased sensory appeal that the elderly prefer are served. The experience of the Southeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging with these recipes shows that they increase menu variety and food consumption (and nutrient intake) and also reduce costs. Fruit and vegetable salads, molded salads, and protein salads are included. Individual recipes include Cucumber Salad, Medley Bean Salad, Molded Pear and Cottage Cheese Salad, Florida Chicken Salad, Deep Sea Mold, and Chicken or Turkey Aspic.
