I made a ton of this for a brunch because I wanted the leftovers for the next day. Fat chance. I took Jessie's suggestion to heart and loved the colorful addition made by using 1/2 raisins and 1/2 dried cranberries. The only other change I made was to sub quartered Medjool dates for the prunes. Too open for jokes at an 85th birthday party.

I doubled this recipe for a potluck with a Caribbean theme. It was a big hit! Everyone raved about the salad and how well it went with the other items at the dinner (dishes like black beans & rice, salmon with fresh salsa, and jerk chicken). The crunch of the apple nicely offsets the softer fruits. Next time I make this I'll probably replace some of the raisins with dried cherries or dried cranberries. Thanks!

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
