SNICKERS Apple Salad


OK this one takes forever to make good luck!

3-5 apples (different varieties for fun.)
1 large container of cool whip thawed
3 frozen snickers

Cut apples into bit size pieces, smashed frozen snicker with a rolling pin and add 3/4 of it to the mix. Next add all the cool whip until desired texture. Last add remaining snickers for garnish. YUMMY!!!

Citrus Slaw




Slaw Ingredients:

1 head Napa cabbage (shredded)
2 large Sunkist® navel oranges, segmented
1 medium Sunkist® grapefruit, segmented
1 small green papaya (shredded) I used fresh pineapple instead
1 medium carrot (julienne)
1 medium red onion (julienne)
2 Poblano chilies (julienne


Dressing Ingredients:

2 Ancho – chilies (roasted and rehydrated) I'd leave these out
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
¼ cup fresh lime juice
½ cup Sunkist® freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground cumin I'd leave this out too


Directions:

I used my mandolin slicer, set with julienne blade, to cut almost everything, to make the carrots, onions, peppers small enough. The cutting was pretty simple, a bit time consuming.

I used all my left over juices to add to the dressing, some grapfruit and pineapple juice, I personally really disliked the flavor of the cumin, so I would suggest adding it to just a little bit of dressing, and trying it before you use it in the whole thing. Also, I think it would have been better without the ancho chilies, they were kind of pasty in the dressing, never really mixed in, and smelled kinda funky!

Pineapple Whoopi

1/2 c. butter, softened
8 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
about 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 container cool whip
20 oz. can crushed pineapple, WELL drained

Directions:
Using mixer, combine butter and cream cheese; beat until smooth and no lumps are left. Add powdered sugar, (I estimate until it tastes good and sweet.) Add coolwhip. Stir in pineapple. Lastly you can add any berries you like, or leave as just pineapple.
