AUTUMN APPLE SALAD

Whether I make it for a Sunday dinner, a company dinner or a covered-dish dinner, people like the blend of flavor in this salad. The ladies ask for the recipe...the men ask me to make sure their wives get a copy of it! Our house is on the edge of town. It has lots of room for gardening (my husband, my parents and grandparents, all lived on farms). I'm a second-grade teacher with two boys, 5 and 2, who "help" Mommy cook.

TOSSED GREENS WITH PINEAPPLE, APPLE AND FETA CHEESE



Tossed Greens With Pineapple, Apple and Feta Cheese image

This is a simple tossed salad, and I love the fact that the vinaigrette is oil-free. The dressing has a bit of a tang to it, but it is well-balanced by the sweetness of the fruit. I used Golden Delicious apples since they don't turn brown when cut, and romaine lettuce for the greens. I think the greens should be something "sturdy" to hold up to the apples and pineapple. Spinach would also be great! This recipe comes from Del Monte. Edited to note that I have this posted in the vegan category, even though feta cheese is listed in the ingredients because I have made this without cheese, too, and it is also good that way.

"This pretty salad is a staple at my house. I've shared the recipe with any satisfied guests," pens Lois Kenneberg, Phoenix, Arizona.

PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE SALAD



Pineapple Cream Cheese Salad image

My first taste of this was at a covered dish. Ohhh, how I remember that surprisingly delicious taste! I am thankful that the lady shared her recipe with me. It has become a family favorite. Whenever I carry it to a covered dish everyone asks for this recipe. Sometimes I use it as a gelatin salad and other times, as a desert. It is great served with angel food cake. I hope you try this quick easy dish and enjoy it.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 3h4m

Yield 1 bowl gelatin salad, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 ounce) package knox unflavored gelatin
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
cherries, with if desired (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm the pineapple, cream cheese, and Splenda or sugar until smooth. Stir gently. This does not take long.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a small dish, add the water. Then add the unflavored gelatin to it. Allow a few seconds for it to dissolve.
  • Add Knox and water mixture to the pineapple mixture. Stir well to blend.
  • Pour pineapple mixture in a pretty glass bowl. Gently place a few cherries on top, if desired.
  • Place in refrigerator to set. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Note: The 3 hours is your cook tiime. Also note that the small package of Knox unflavored gelatin wasn't labeled with number of ounces. Since I had removed them from the box, I guess at the number of ounces.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor.
  • Choose a variety of apples. Different apples offer different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your salad a more complex taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A sharp cheddar or a tangy goat cheese would both be great choices for this salad.
  • Make sure to chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or greens. This will add extra color and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

Apple pineapple cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try.
