FRUIT SALAD WITH HONEY-LIME DRESSING



Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing image

"I literally didn't know how to boil an egg until I was in my 20's - when I tried to impress a guy by making dinner for him," writes Sally Siegel of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "I didn't have much success with the dinner or the guy, but I regrouped and put together a repertoire of fairly elegant dishes I felt confident making. Over the years, my cooking style has become more casual; I make dishes that are not too demanding, but still special for company."

LITE FRUIT SALAD WITH HONEY POPPY SEED DRESSING BY PAULA DEEN



Lite Fruit Salad With Honey Poppy Seed Dressing by Paula Deen image

Another recipe from her cooking show. I found it made more dressing than I had salad for and it was a little on the sweet side so next time I'll add more salad ingredients and cut down on the honey, and I suppose you could even reserve the juice from the can of mandarin oranges and use that for the orange juice in the dressing.
