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:

• Do not drain fruit.
• Use pudding mix dry, do not add milk.
• Combine all ingredients and blend well.
• Chill about 1 hour.

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:

• Mix cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, oranges and whipped topping.

• To make it pretty, use a large ice cream scoop or mold in muffin cups greased with mayo and serve on lettuce leaf.

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add cold water; measure 3/4 cup into small bowl. Refrigerate remaining gelatin until slightly thickened. Stir in fruit; pour into serving bowl. Refrigerate until set but not firm.
• Meanwhile, place small bowl of measured gelatin in larger bowl of ice water; stir until slightly thickened. Beat with mixer on high speed until thickened and about doubled in volume. Spoon over gelatin in bowl.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

Steps:

• Cook nuts and sugar in nonstick skillet on medium heat 3 to 5 min. or until sugar is melted and nuts are evenly coated with glaze. Cool.
