MOM'S 5 CUP SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE DRESSING



Mom's 5 Cup Salad With Pineapple Dressing image

When I lost this recipe, I searched everywhere for one just like it. None of them had the dressing, which, IMO, makes this fruit salad. The dressing is very similar to what's used in Taffy Apple Salads, so I used that for awhile. I finally found my mom's recipe in a basket full of old recipes and want to post it here. I could eat all of this in one sitting. I don't care for the coconut, so I don't add it. I also guessed on the number of servings. Prep time includes time spent whisking dressing.

MOM'S MISTAKE FRUIT SALAD



Mom's Mistake Fruit Salad image

My Mom had no mother growing up, to teach her to cook. So,being a new wife & mother herself, she ask someone how to make fruit salad & they told her, "Just like you do potato salad", meaning a bunch of cut up stuff & then a sauce on it. She took it literally, I guess, so, she cut up the fruit & put a potato salad sauce on it....

Provided by Peggi Anne Tebben

Categories     Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 oranges, peeled with a knife (no white pith on them) & cut up
1 can(s) fruit coctail ,drained or canned peaches or pears will work, just whatever you have handy.
1 1/2 c red or green seedless grapes ( i use red for color)
1 1/2 c fresh (if possible) or canned (drained) pineapple chunks, cut up
2 apples cored & cut up (leave skin on)
4 large bananas, sliced up ( you can never get too much bananas in it)
2/3 c chopped pecans
THE DRESSING:
1 c real mayonnaise or miracle whip salad dressing
1 1/2 Tbsp prepared mustard
2 - 3 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cut up fruits into large bowl, in order given, so they don't brown on you.
  • 2. In another smaller bowl, mix the dressing ingredients. Pour on fruits & toss to mix. May need more or less dressing. I never measure things. Put alot of dressing on it though. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
  • 3. Right before serving, add the chopped pecans. You can either mix in or just garnish the top with them or both. If you put them in too early, they soften up & if you have any leftovers for the next day, they won't be crunchy.
  • 4. Note: I usually serve this with the meal. That's when I eat it. You could also just serve it as a dessert though.

MOM'S SALAD DRESSING



Mom's Salad Dressing image

WARNING: This salad dressing might not fit your tastes. Proceed with caution! :) My brother and I had one choice of dressing for our salads growing up...Mom's. I've tried for years to get her to give up the recipe but all she would say is "Sissy, I don't measure. You have to make this one from your memories." This is my attempt to create the dressing I grew up with and loved! It's not for everyone but it sure is a hit in our family. (My brother pretty much refuses to eat any salad without it.) Thanks Mom!
