Cool Fruit Salad With Light Sauce

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:54:43 -0400

Fresh, cool versatile ... all are ways I'd describe this salad. The dressing is light and not overwhelming. This is a very easy recipe to customize for your own family's likes & dislikes, as well as considering which fruits are in season for you. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are all great in this too. Sugar-free pudding works just as well if you prefer. -- posted by Park Rangerette

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:08 -0400

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand. Serve with fresh pouring cream for a real treat! -- posted by French Tart

I have found several recipes, vintage, if you will that might remind some of the baby-boomers and older of another time in our history. I would like to share some of them with you. As in earlier times, when money was a little harder to come by,this "old-fashioned" recipe is made with cooked rice and a few of the "usual suspects," gelatin, pineapple, nuts, are you beginning to remember? If you do,maybe you would like to make this again, and if you don't maybe you would like to try it anyway, because this is a wonderful dish, that I truly hope you will enjoy.

I wanted something that was cool, crunchy, tangy, spicy and a little sweet that would meet my diet requirements and was not your typical diet food. This is my version of a fresh veggie relish/salad that is great alone or when paired with seafood, beef, pork etc... Perfect in a warmed flour tortillas wrap with some shrimp, or a lettuce wrap with a bit of Avacado. It can be used with seafood, chicken, beef or pork as a relish. Or as I like it, alone for lunch. High fiber, low fat and awesome taste. I hope you enjoy it. XOXOXOXOXO Lynn -- posted by Hugsandkisses

Piquant Caper Salad Molds

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:22:44 -0400

This very unusual recipe came from my husband's step-grandmother. I'll be honest with you: people who try this either ADORE it and clamor for the recipe, or take a bite and say, "hmmmm....innnnteresting?" (then don't finish it.) Happily, the former outnumber the latter! If you're like me and really love the sweet/sour/salty combination, you'll love this. I serve it at buffet dinners on a big glass tray, with each individual mold atop a curly lettuce leaf, and dolloped with a bit of homemade mayonnaise.

After the Party is Over! Refreshing Detox Fresh Fruit Salad

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:50:57 -0500

A wonderful brunch recipe for the morning after or when you need an early boost for a busy day ahead; although this is super healthy and refreshing, I have also served this as the dessert dish for a buffet, BUT with champagne as the liquid instead of orange juice! (Just another idea for dressing this fresh fruit salad up with frills!) This is not only healthy, but it is SO festive and colourful - my photo shows the one I made this Boxing Day (26th December), I usually add kiwi fruit too, but we had run out of them.......oooops! My quantities listed here make enough for 6 to 8 people, but this can be increased as well as reduced to suit personal requirements. I normally serve this with crème fraiche or vanilla yoghurt, but its also wonderful when served naked, the salad that is, not me! The fruits I have suggested are rich in vitamins and antioxidants for a quick mental boost, as well as a rapid detox to aid recovery after a heavy night or after indulging in rich food, but please do adapt this to your own seasonal and local produce if you wish. -- posted by French Tart

Fabulous Fruit Salad

I am told . . . . . DO NOT use fruit cocktail or my sister-in-laws husbands mother will come back and haunt you. PREP/COOK TIME does NOT include refrigerated time for the custard. -- posted by DriverMama

This is a fresh cool salad for a hot summer day or any day. This was given to me by a very good friend in Panama City Beach, Fl. who loves to cook. We had it one night and boy I was hooked, easy to prepare and beautiful to serve. -- posted by Golf Gal

Lorraines Famous Spaghetti Ring Fruit Salad

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:03:00 -0500

the grand children always want my mother in law to make this salad when they visit. It is an update on an OLD recipe that calls for a cooked dressing --she has gone modern and uses the microwave and add cool whip instead of making her own whipped cream.She makes about a triple batch in a big tupperware bowl and keeps the leftovers in the fridge -- be sure to stir leftovers and eat with in about a day. Spaghetti rings are a little hard to find where I shop, You could probably substitute something like alphabet shapes or even fine spaghetti cut in tiny pieces but the rings are the best. -- posted by jobmom

Orange Jello Salad

It may be true only in my memory, but orange jello with carrots and pineapple was a staple with our meals, almost as much as a green lettuce salad is in other households. The addition of cream cheese and marshmallows makes this the company deluxe version. -- posted by Rutecki Family
