Florida Sunshine Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Drain pineapple and oranges, reserving juices. In a large bowl, combine pudding mix with reserved fruit juices. Fold in pineapple, oranges and strawberries; chill for at least 2 hours. Add bananas just before serving.

Steps:

• For the sunshine dressing: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
• For the salad: Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water. Allow the pasta to dry slightly before assembling; this will help the dressing really adhere to the pasta.
• Pour the dressing over the pasta in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add the yellow and grape tomatoes, corn, bell peppers and banana peppers and toss gently until evenly mixed. Arrange the salad onto a serving platter and garnish with the lemon slices.

Steps:

• Tear the crab meat into strands with two forks. Put 2 -3 tbsps of mayo (or to taste) into a salad bowl. Add the grated ginger, red pepper flakes and a dash of ground allspice. Add the crab meat and grapefruit juice and stir to combine. Refrigerate until required.
• Lay out 4 salad plates with salad greens. Top with tomato slices and cucumber slices; English cucumbers don't need to be peeled but do peel if preferred. Add the grapefruit segments, cut shallots or spring onions into fine rings and add to salad. Lightly salt the tomatoes and cuces, careful if you are using capers. Divide olives and capers, if using, scatter on top.
• Drizzle salad dressing of your choice over each plate, I used a home made citrus vinaigrette.
• Remove the crab salat from the fridge, divide into 4 portions and mound on top of each plate, serve at once. Enjoy!
