You’re getting my brain going too. Here is a Summer fruit salad I make:

Combine apple chunks, mandarin oranges, grape halves, pineapple and chopped pecans (or what ever nut you like)with any of the following: yogurt, sour cream or mayo (whatever you happen to have around). In my house I have to put the chopped pecans on the side since several don’t like nuts, and that way the rest of us can still have nuts on our salads. I usually serve this on a bed of lettuce leaves. I have put grilled chicken on top of the salad to make it a more substantial meal.

For a sweet variation of this I mix the same fruits and the nuts with whipped cream (I sometimes also add toasted coconut or marshmallows to this version).

This salad would go well with a ham dinner for Easter too.

I also use this same mix of fruits on a bed of greens with a raspberry vinegrette dressing, or an orange poppyseed dressing. This also goes well with grilled chicken.

Thanks, we eat a lot of grilled chicken. We marinate it in whatever is in the refrigerator, or mix several things and add whatever spices that jumps out at us at the time.

Thanks also for the fruit salad, something else that we like.
