Carrot Apple Salad

Always reminds me of my grandmommy


8 oz crushed pineapple, drained, reserve liquid
2 medium tart apples, diced
3 cups shredded carrots
3 T raisins
3 T flaked coconut
1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
1/3 cup plain yogurt
3 T mayonnaise
1 T lemon juice

Add apples to the reserved pineapple juice; toss to coat; stand for 5 minutes; drain. In a large bowl, combine pineapple, carrots, raisins, coconut and apples. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; pour over carrot mixture; toss to coat. Cover and chill for 3-4 hours prior to serving. Feel free to use the fat-free versions of the yogurt and mayo if you'd like. My kids love this.

Broccoli, Bacon and Mozzarella salad

This is a fun salad to play around with


Salad:
3 cups fresh broccoli florets, bite-size
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 chopped red onion
4 slices cooked bacon
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 T sugar
2 t lemon juice

Combine all salad ingredients except bacon. In a small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients then pour over salad; toss to coat. Just before serving, stir crumbled crisp bacon into salad.

For different options, try cheddar in place of the mozzarella cheese or cauliflower in place of broccoli.
