My guild is having a salad supper next week and I want to try something new. I took cornbread salad last year and it was passed over by most. Not sure why last potluck I took it to everyone wanted the recipe. It's a salad supper so we have everything from meat salads to desert salads. Does anyone have a great salad recipe they would share? Thanks!

For years I made cantelope, green grapes, bananas, and added a small amount of raw sugar. A dolope of sour cream an top when served and a sprinkle of cinnamon is good. Bon appetite ! Hugs

Someone posted a recipe for a fruit salad with a dry custard package. I haven't made it yet but I plan to when the warm weather gets here. I think something with fruit would go over well with ladies at your guild. It is in recipes under Best Easy Fruit Saad.

My SIL makes a yummy 7 Layer Salad for the holidays. There's quite a few (slightly different) recipes of it on the internet. She puts it in a cut glass pedestal bowl. Beautiful, too.
