there is lots of cold salads to make, like a chicken or tuna salad, we always make a fruit salad for christmas, but don't forget to use fruit fresh or the fruit will brown and won't look pretty.
The best salad I ever made: (kind of resembles a Waldorf Salad)





Chopped Romaine


Strawberries


Fuji Apples


Roma Tomatoes


Red Onion


Walnuts


Cucumber





Chop and toss it all in Balsamic vinaigrette. It's soooooo good!
Actually a Waldorf Salad would be great.





INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup mayonnaise


1 tablespoon white sugar


1 teaspoon lemon juice


1/8 teaspoon salt


3 apples -- peeled, cored, and chopped


1 cup thinly sliced celery


1/2 cup chopped walnuts


1/2 cup raisins (optional)





In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, and salt.


Stir in the apples, celery, walnuts, and raisins. Chill until ready to serve.
Wow, you really plan ahead don't you!

My mom's friend made this really great salad/pasta dish that was a major hit.


It was cold pasta with olives, carrots, mini corn, and tomatoes. She put regular salad dressing on top. Hers was Italian dressing, put you could put whichever one that you like, maybe turkey and bacon bits?


Mix it up this Christmas.
