Strawberry-Pineapple Iceberg Wedge ( Sharon's variation: Strawberry-Blueberry-Kiwi Wedge) Recipe
How can it be that we have a 25 year old ? When I'm still 25 myself! Ha ha ha!
Yes, it's true, and very blessed the past 25 years to have Our Laura in our lives!
For her birthday lunch, she requested our Family's Scalloped Potatoes and Ham Dish, Green Beans,
Good rolls, Chocolate Éclair Cake (which she thought was a family recipe, but has found out it's one
of the many favorites in Church cookbooks!) She couldn't make up her mind on which type of salad...
Green or Fruit?
So, thinking that in mind, I remember I came across in my cherished "Southern Living Cookbook Annuals" 2008 in the April section. Strawberry-Pineapple Iceberg Wedge with Yogurt-Poppy Seed Dressing. In a pinch, you can substitute with your favorite Poppy Seed Dressing in your local store, which I had on hand and used this time. When shopping for the pineapple, it was 6 DOLLARS for ONE Pineapple! Needless to say, being the budget minded person I am, I substituted with Blueberries and Kiwi and I used my Apple Mint in my herb garden, instead of regular mint. Laura seemed very pleased and said it's so "fancy"!
And of course, we were caught up in the moment and forgot to take pictures of our birthday Girl!
Sorry, I don't have pictures to share. I hope you enjoy some of our many "Family's Recipes"! :)Yogurt and honey replace the oil and sugar typically found in the classic for a healthful, here-and-now dressing. They prefer Greek yogurt for its thick, rich flavor, but plain yogurt can be substituted for a thinner dressing.
