Salads
Not all salads are made of green leafy vegetables! This mixed vegetable salad is a perfect example of a salad for those who aren"t fond of lettuce! It goes well with everything from burgers to steak, poultry to fish. It is also perfect for potlucks, pitch-ins, reunions, or just a good family meal at home. Having trouble getting in the needed servings of veggies a day? Let this salad help. The dressing for this salad is also good on other salads. When stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, this dressing will last indefinitely. For diabetics or others watching their sugar intake, substitute one cup of Splenda granular for the sugar in the dressing.
