Lite Fruit Salad With Honey Poppy Seed Dressing by Paula Deen

"Another recipe from her cooking show. I found it made more dressing than I had salad for and it was a little on the sweet side so next time I'll add more salad ingredients and cut down on the honey, and I suppose you could even reserve the juice from the can of mandarin oranges and use that for the orange juice in the dressing."

  1. Excellent combination - better than the sum of the parts! I used the other reviewers' suggestions and used the juice from the mandarin orange can, with blood orange-flavored olive oil instead of canola. Super good - kids would probably like this!
     
  2. I found this recipe in one of Paula Deen's cookbooks. It did not call for a "green" apple...just an apple. I loved this, and you definately have to serve it with greens because it makes a lot of dressing.
     
  3. This was a really easy and delicious salad to make. I don't usually like avacado but it went well with the dressing. I cut down on the honey a little bit and it was great. I left out the raisins though due to our guest not liking them. The nuts and the apple add a nice crunch. Thanks!
     
  4. It was delicious and a cinch to make. So refreshing!!
     
  5. This was amazing...Love avacados but I have never had them with a sweet sauce. Did take the advice and used the juice from the mandarin oranges. Also used slightly less honey. I could eat this every day. YUM.....Thank for posting...

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I recently moved to Frazier Park, CA, about 60 miles north of Los Angeles. We both still commute to Los Angeles for work, but our new home makes it worth it. My husband and I scuba dive for fun. I love to sew and knit as well. My favorite cookbook is the old Betty Crocker that my mom had while we were growing up, a 1950s edition. The index never made any sense to me, but I love it nonetheless. A few years ago I got a reprinted copy. I also love my 1000 Mexican recipes cookbook though I've barely scratched the surface with it.
