Do you use a certain brand of dressing. I would rather try one that someone else likes, if I choose one on my own it would be the dud choice !!!

I think it Newmans Own, but there are other brands too.

let thaw a little before serving.......have used whole berry cranberry sauce instead of fresh berries not quite the same but not bad

I have a very similar recipe that I put into individual cupcake papers (regular or mini) in a muffin tin to freeze. Instant portion control! You can also just remove a couple to serve and save the rest for another time. They can be stored in any airtight container, if you don't eat them all at once.

I recently attended a lunch for our swim club & had a salad with Rasberry dressing that was wonderful.The hostess showed me what she'd used.It was Kraft Light Rasberry dressing.I'd tasted rasberry dressing before that made me want to rinse my mouth :x This was so good, I bought 2 bottles :thumbup: from a regular grocery.Great stuff!

Five Cup Salad
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can chunk pineapple, drained
1 cup flaked coconut
1 small tub of sour cream
1 cup minature marsmallows
Best if left overnight so the flavors can blend.

Mixed greens, topped with raspberries, 8 oz diced white cheese (Monterey Jack, I think; I just know it when I see it) and toasted walnut halves. Serve with a quality raspberry vinagarette that you put in a bowl and serve with a spoon; nobody will ask, but will assume it's homemade!

this is a unique salad that I got and have been making for about 25 years.
Salad Louisa
Ingredients:
6 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 # bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 pkg. mixed green lettuce
1 can of sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 can of bean sprouts, drained
1 can of mandarin oranges (optional)
Mix all together and add large can of Chinese Noodles and mix just before adding dressing.

Dressing:
1 large onion chunked or sliced up
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Put in blender and liquify.
Pour over salad right before serving.

Not a good salad left over because the noodles get soggy but it has such a good flavor (even if you don't like onions) that we eat it the next day too. I make the salad dressing often and keep in fridge for other lettuce salads.

Thanks so much!!! Sooooo many choices - hard to know which to choose. I have a couple of weeks to decide - will just have to make several for my family and let them help decide:-)

Yes, go to Cook's.com and check for an Asian salad.There have many goods ones. Usually with Napa cabbage which is awesome in a salad if you cut it thin. Usually has some nuts in it, some cut up fruit. It's DEEElicious. barb
