BROKEN GLASS SALAD
This salad creates a beautiful display in a clear glass bowl. It uses three different colors of jello which are covered in a creamy, sweet pineapple, lemon sauce. It is a holiday favorite. I received this from my friend, June. Chill time should include allowing jello to set and then allowing the whole dessert to chill for 5-8 hours or overnight.

STAINED GLASS FRUIT SALAD
A Southern staple at all of our holidays and get together's. Easy and yummy and so pretty. Serve in a glass bowl to showcase it's beauty! I like to use fruit in natural juices rather than in heavy syrup but choose what you like. Update 7/2011 For a recent family reunion my darling great aunt made this but added a little almond extract! Wow! That little addition took this from a great fruit salad to an amazing fruit salad! Feel free to mix up fruit or add things you like. Please share that in your review so we can try it too! Great for weddings, showers, parties etc..

Tips:
- Choose the Right Glass Bowl: Opt for a bowl that's large enough to accommodate all your ingredients without overcrowding, yet not so big that the salad looks sparse. A clear glass bowl allows you to showcase the vibrant colors of your salad.
- Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and chop your vegetables, fruits, and herbs in advance. This will save you time and ensure that everything is ready when you're assembling the salad.
- Layer Your Ingredients: Start with a base layer of sturdy greens, such as romaine lettuce or kale. Then, add layers of other vegetables, fruits, and toppings. This will create a visually appealing salad that's easy to eat.
- Use a Light Dressing: A heavy dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavors of a salad. Opt for a light vinaigrette, lemon-tahini dressing, or a simple drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Add Some Crunch: Nuts, seeds, and crispy vegetables like carrots or celery add texture and flavor to a salad. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
- Include Protein: If you want a more substantial salad, add a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans. This will make the salad a complete meal.
- Serve Immediately: Salads are best enjoyed fresh. Once you've assembled the salad, serve it immediately to prevent the greens from wilting and the flavors from fading.

With its versatility and endless possibilities, a glass bowl salad is a healthy and delicious choice for any occasion.
