Sweet and Spicy Fruit /Veggie Salad
Created my Granny E / Margie because I had the stuff and was bored. I liked how it turned out, so I thought I would share 3nodding

Salad
¼ cup each carrot and celery, finely sliced
⅛ cup sliced green onion (or very sweet yellow onion)
½ small tomato, seeds removed and chopped
½ cup sliced peaches (fresh or canned)
½ cup pineapple pieces (fresh or canned)
1 small mandarin orange separated
¼ cup banana sliced
¼ cup walnut chopped
3 or 4 small green peppers packed in vinegar sliced
Several dashes of pickled pepper sauce (to taste)
3 cups field greens (or salad mix of choice)

Dressing
⅛ cup of a toasted sesame dressing
Fresh ground pepper (or pepper blend) to taste
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Mix dressing well and add to salad ingredients, also mixing well but gently.


Serving suggestions: Goes well with pita chips and a chilled Chardonnay.




Note: I suggest draining (reserving) the fruit of most of the juices, then if you want the salad a bit moister, add a small quantity of the mixed juices.

PS If you try this I would like to know your opinion, good or bad so that I can work on improving this.

This sounds really interesting! I would try it, but I would have to substitute a lot of the ingredients because I'm allergic to a lot of uncooked fruits & veggies.

Well, I dunno... I'm used to salads mixing fruit and veggies. But it seems a lot to me here. Like two separate salads merged into one...
It's just me though, perhaps it's tasty. 3nodding

=D I can assure you I did not get this from any other recipes, lol. I may should have made 2 different salads with it, but I was wanted to get the stuff out of my fridge, so I put it all together.
