INDIAN SUMMER SALAD

This is a wonderful salad! This is NOT Indian as in curry----but rather Indian, as in American Native. Very simple, looks beautiful, and yummy!! You make the salad, then make the Avery Salad Dressing to pour over the whole salad...let sit about 1 hr. in the fridge to marinate before you serve it, and POOF! It'll be gone before you know it. Promise! I found this recipe many years ago, in a little craft magazine they called "Work Basket".NOTE! The prep time does NOT include the 1 hr. sitting-in-the-fridge time.

This is a very pretty and healthy salad with a slight tang from the grapefruit and not a lot of dressing. This is a low sodium heart healthy salad. The Splenda/sugar will need adjusting depending on how much tangy you would like this salad to have. The 30 minute chill time is not included.
