Purple Lady Salad image

Years ago, when attending a bridal shower for a friend, the hostess-Frances Renfro had prepared a wonderful salad luncheon, along with a variety of home-baked muffins/dinner rolls. One of the salads served was "Purple Lady"...found it to be my favorite of the day! We've made Frances' recipe for many special occasions since! A...

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6-oz) package red raspberry jell-o
1 cup boiling water
1 (20-oz) can undrained/crushed pineapple
1 can of blueberry pie filling
1/2 cup toasted/chopped pecans
1 (8-oz) container thawed whipped topping (not light or fat free)
fresh raspberries, blueberries, & extra whipped topping

Steps:

  • 1. Completely dissolve Jell-O in boiling water; add pineapple w/juice, blueberry pie filling, and pecans...mix thoroughly, chill until thick, but not set (30-40 minutes).
  • 2. Fold in whipped topping just until color is all the same (no white streaks), then place into either a *trifle bowl, food-safe decorative bowl, or **13x9-inch glass dish. Cover with plastic wrap, place back into refrigerator for 3-4 (or more) hours. If you wish to add garnish, spread extra whipped topping on Purple Lady salad just before serving, and add fresh berries on top.
  • 3. If there are leftovers (which rarely happens at our parties), keep covered/refrigerated. You would most likely need to finish eating it in the next day or so. * We do "buffet-style" a lot, so this salad usually gets placed in a trifle or other decorative-type glass bowl. ** If using a 13x9-inch glass dish, you may want to cut salad into single serving square portions, then place each portion on top large piece of lettuce (I like red-leaf) and set it on a salad plate as a side item for each member at the dinner table.

This salad is a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll try it again with a simpler recipe.

This salad is a bit too expensive to make. I think I'll try it again with less expensive ingredients.

This salad is a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with softer grapes and walnuts.

I found the dressing to be a bit bland. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less grapes and cranberries.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. It's also a great option for a light lunch or dinner.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but I love this salad. The grapes and cranberries add a sweetness that balances out the cabbage's bitterness.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It's also a good source of fiber and antioxidants.

I love the unique flavor of this salad. The purple cabbage and grapes give it a sweetness that I've never tasted in a salad before.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet grapes, tangy cranberries, and crunchy walnuts was a perfect balance of flavors. I also loved the pop of color from the purple cabbage.
