This salad is really different. Interesting mix of the fruity flavored gelatin along with the vegetables.
We eat a lot of lettuce type salads, and my husband prefers romaine lettuce to anything else. This one is tangy and good.
Garbanzo Tomato and Feta Salad
A perfect quick, tasty, and healthy salad for two served with lightly toasted or grilled pita wedges.
I started making this several years ago. It was winter time, so there was not a big variety of fresh veggies for a salad, but I did have cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, and with a young child, I always had string cheese.
This is a recipe my stepmom used to make when my dad was alive. It was a family get together favorite.
Since the hot weather is here, this is a cool delicious cucumber salad.
Arrange spinach greens in shallow bowl. Top with neatly arranged bacon bits, egg slices, beets, croutons and blue cheese. Shake dressing ingredients well. Drizzle over salad.
In large salad bowl, toss salad, bacon, oranges, onion, almonds and cheese. Combine the remaining ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake well. Pour over salad and toss to coat.
Besides loving all of the ingredients in this salad, I like it because you can put it together a day ahead, and it will remain fresh and crispy as long as you don't add the dressing until just before serving.
Remove seeds and stringy pieces from center or squash. Discard. Cook each half of squash in microwave for 8 minutes. Will be VERY hot! When cool, use a fork to rake the insides of the squash.
This is such a wonderful recipe for Spring!
Wash broccoli and cut into small pieces. Fry bacon until crisp and crumble into small pieces. Add raisins, sunflower seeds and chopped half of red onion.

Place a layer of crisp lettuce in small chunks in a large wooden bowl. Spoon over the mayonnaise and spread thinly. Add a layer of sliced onions. Sprinkle onions lightly with sugar.
Combine ingredients and add your favorite coleslaw dressing to your taste.
This combines 5 golden fruits and vegetables and is great for BBQs and any summer party.
Refrigerated Dill Cucumber Salad
My mom use to make a cucumber salad. Sadly, she has passed away and I do not have the recipe, but it contain dill. She would put the salad in a jar, then place it in the fridge and would last about a week.
Mix gelatin and boiling water; add marshmallows and stir until both are dissolved. Allow to cool. Add pineapple and carrots. When mixture begins to set, add Dream Whip or whipped cream and mayonnaise. Let set and cut in squares.
Combine dry ingredients. Add vinegar and oil. Blend. Add minced parsley and green onions, sliced. Pour over quartered tomatoes which have been arranged over a bed of endive.
Mix together first 4 ingredients and add dressing. For dressing, cook until thick and mix with salad. Chill thoroughly. This will keep for several days.
