Strawberry Salad



I made this salad for a fun barbecue with some friends! It was sad, because it was sort-of an end-of-summer thing. I hate to see summer go! So I had to make this salad one more time. It's delish. My friend Codee actually inspired me on this one!

Here's what you need:

1 head of green leaf lettuce
1 lb strawberries, quartered longways
1/2 small package of craisins
a handful of sunflower seeds

Mix together in large salad bowl.

For dressing:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar (more or less to taste)

Pour dressing over salad, mix until all leaves are coated.

By the way, every time I bring this salad to a party, it's ALL GONE by the end. Everyone loves it! Thanks Codee for the recipe!

Grilled Chicken Salad with Fruit!

By.....Kaylee!

I think this is my favorite salad of all time. Get your daily fruits and vegetables all in one!

1 head of lettuce equivalent (I use iceberg, green leaf, and baby spinach)
1 handful of grapes
1 apple, chopped
1-2 grilled chicken breast (I use my George Foreman grill!)
1 handful of sunflower seeds
1 handful of Craisins
1 handful green peppers chopped (optional)

Mix lettuce, fruits and vegetables. Add chicken on top when cool. Serve with dressing of choice (the honey dijon dressing by Kraft is the best with this salad, also raspberry vinaigrette works great).
