    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.

    mix together and put in 9 x 13 cake pan then pop it in your freezer
    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.

    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
