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