Sounds delicious!
Yes, it does sound delicious. Now if I could just find a salad bar with these items and tell them to make this dressing, which sounds lucious. Sorry, if I had this many fruits and vegetables on hand, I would be eating salad until it would be running out of my ears. It is so hard to shop and cook for one.
I agree to that, Etta Sue. But I am still going to try the salad dressing if I can find all the ingredients. I think I will double it to pour over the greens and just one of the fruits. Uh-oh ::) I need to get some other ingredients, too. Well.......maybe tomorrow I will go to the store. On Friday after work I hurry, hurry home to rest. :)
Actually ladies, all those fruits on the list are optional you don't have to use all of them.
Marilyn, that helps. The salad does sound delicious.
Marilyn we have a bit of a problem on the site with question marks that have suddenly appeared and in erasing them from your recipe, the amounts of some of the ingredients are now gone. Can you tell either Etta Sue or myself and we can correct it?
I'd love to try this one for sure.
The amounts to use shows up on my computer Pat. Its only the second paragraph that dosen't list what amounts to use. I imagine you could use whatever amount you want for yourself.
It does sound very good though, dosen't it.
Well, Judy, these don't have quantities beside them:
cup water chestnuts, sliced
cup sliced jicama
cup baby carrots, quartered lengthwise
Maybe they had a "1" beside that word "cup"
I can't remember, Pat. Hopefully Marilyn will tell one of us.
it is 1/2 cup and I have corrected it it now. hope it shows up for you.
It sure does, Marilyn....thanks for fixing it for us. Now to go fix us some salad!!!
