I made this dish this afternoon for dinner this evening, allowing it to chill for a couple hours before serving. I used Sweet Basil, fresh from my herb garden. I was a little nervous that DH wouldn't like it, but was pleasantly surprised when he cleaned his plate! I really enjoyed it myself, which I had expected. The colors contrasted so nicely; it was very eye appealing and had lots of flavor that blended extremely well. Best of all, it was quick and easy too! DH even commented on all of these features too. Thank you for sharing this moxie. It was great!!!

This is a simple, refreshing salad! Definitely a nice change from the usual lettuce mix. I think I may try it without the basil next time, since my mother and I agreed it was a little bit overpowering. But it was still enjoyed by all. Thanks for a great recipe, Moxie! Update: I tried this again, over a year later, and had to up my rating to 5 stars. I doubled the rest of the recipe and left the basil the same and it was perfect for my family's tastes. I took it to a baby shower and got lots of compliments! Thanks again!

Just for the record, I used a can of Tropical fruit salad, "Fun Sea Shapes" instead of the pineapple. It is just papaya and pineapple cut into "fun sea shapes". I did not know if you were surpose to drain it so I did. I also used key lime juice because that is what I had. We loved this salad, very different and tasty. Leftovers for lunch was very good the next day.

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more.

I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps.
I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard.

This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off.

Beau works a long week. He's relaxing finally, after a beer.

I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews.
5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here.
4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests.
3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again
2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions
1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!)
