Carrot Salad

1 bag shredded Carrots

1 can Mandarin Oranges, drained

1 can Pineapple tidbits, drained

½ cup Coconut

1 cup Sour Cream




*Mix all ingredients together and chill.



(This salad breaks down because of all the fruit. Does not make good leftovers.)


Really good in the summer as a side dish.

Pasta Salad with Spinach

Mix up your favorite pasta salad recipe. Let chill. Toss with fresh spinach before serving.


Here is what I use:

Bow tie pasta-cooked & drained, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, chopped cucumber, a small can of mandarin oranges-drained, slivered almonds, Feta cheese, black pepper, and tossed with Kraft Mandarin Orange Dressing. Chill for several hours. Toss with fresh spinach and extra dressing when ready to serve.



*Serve with fresh bakery bread or crescent rolls.
