  1. This was a big hit at the party; everyone just loved it. Very easy to make; one suggestion, I prepared everything including the pineapple mixture a day before, then added everything together for approx. 6 hours; PERFECT! It wasn't as good the day after(a little soggy is all),(I was lucky enough to take some home) Great recipe, thanks very much.
     
  2. My husband and I are on a raw foods fruit diet kind of thing, so I substituted Splenda for the sugar. Delicious. I bet making the dressing with other fruit juices would be just as good. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. Yummy! My daughter-in-law made it for dinner tonight. She used the juice from the mandarin oranges instead of pineapple juice (just an error)but it still turned out very good.
     
  4. This is a great salad. It goes just right with every type of meal especially those heavy holiday ones. Everyone loves it. I always ended up with an empty bowl. Thank you so much for sharing
     
  5. DH couldn't get enough of this. This is an easy salad to put together and the sauce was delicious. I will make again, thank you so much for sharing this great recipe.

Tweaks

  1. I doubled this for Thanksgiving and used canned cherries and peaches instead of fresh apples and grapes and it was delicious. I drained the fruit and made the dressing ahead and combined them just before serving. I served it with some whipped cream- I will be making this for Christmas also.

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life. My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)! I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery. Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
