What is your favorite Christmas salad?

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

This thread started for Christmas 2008. Well I'm going to add (for Christmas 2009) jfain's "Moorish Crunch Salad" but with one Red Delicious and one Granny Smith apple just to add more color to it. -John-

For New Years though it will be Cathy's first salad "Mandarin/Pineapple" however Cathy I don't have a recipe - hint -

Nice & Easy and oh so good John.

Here you go:

2 small cans of Mandarin Oranges (drained)
1 large can Pineapple Chunks (drained)
1 16 oz. container Sour Cream
1 cup miniature Marshmallows
Optional: Shredded Coconut 1/4 cup
1/4 cup Chopped Pecans

Night before big Holiday feast mix all ingredients together and let marinade overnight serve the next day.

So good!!!

Thats the recipe I like. Just open cans and throw it together. I can't do that with too many veggys but fruit is usually lower in sodium. Thanks

You're more than welcome! I had it at my Aunt's house one Thanksgiving and was blown away with how good it was, my jaw dropped when she gave me the recipe and I found out how easy it was!

BTW scubalaydee I got my curry powder for your curried apples but I'm sorry to say it's from McCormick not Trinidad or Tabago.

It will work my dear friend, you just need a little curry taste, now curry is an extremely strong seasoning, please try and not use too much, did I mention to dissolve the curry in water before placing it in the hot oil with the roasted garlic and your choice of seasonings? Because the curried smell can linger on just about everything in your home, this little trick can help mix cinnamon powder in approx. 2 cups of water place on stove to boil, remove after boiling and walk through your house, the vapor when distributed makes your home smell like fresh cinnamon buns, if you do not like cinnamon, then place a slice of bread on your stove grill fire until a little blackened turn the fire off but leave the toasted bread on the stove and the toasty smoke gives off a smell like toasted bread. I do this a lot especially for fried foods to take away that oily smell.
