Enjoyed this very much. This is very refreshing and tasty. Forgot the crushed pineapple, substituted 1/2 can of sliced pineapple that I cut up. Thank you. Made for ZWT 5, Zingo -Sultans of Spice. -
Very tasty jello salad. I used sugar free strawberry jello and light sour cream to cut a few of the calories, but otherwise I followed the directions as written. The combination of all the fruits, nuts, and sour cream make this a very refreshing salad. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for ZWT5. -
Was in the process of cleaning & freezing a big batch of fresh strawberries so used some of those for this recipe instead of some I still had frozen ~ THIS IS A REALLY GREAT, REFRESHING SALAD, what with the combo of fruits used! Putting this one with my keepers! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the ZINGO part of ZWT5] -

<p>I live in Hilliard, Ohio and I work for a restaurant equipment and design distributor. I hated to cook when I was young and did not really have a passion for it until I married my husband 13 years ago. He's a Mikey - will eat just about anything so he is a lot of fun to cook for. It is hard to say what my favorite cookbook is. I have the standard Betty Crocker that is about 30 years old and so beat up. But it is great for the basics. I love Taste of Home and other cooking magazines such as that. I tend to spend my time reading recipes, clipping them out and then storing them in a notebook according to category to be tried at a later date. Needless to say, the notebook is overflowing with recipes that have not been tried yet!!! <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/AMPageBanner.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg></p>
