Subject: wanted: fruit salad with kefir dressing

I was hoping someone would have a fruit salad recipe with a kefir

dressing that can be made ahead or maybe the day before Thanksgiving.

Thanks,

I do that too and love it but I was hoping for something a little

more exotic that I can make ahead or at least make the dressing

ahead. Something really special that anyone will love. My family does

not like the kefir so I have to find a way they will eat it and not

know what they are eating. LOL

I just use it instead of mayo in the traditional dressings. It

feels a lot safer -- I gave me food poisoning once with

Waldorf salad and plain mayo, but kefir-salad is impervious,

I think.

Waldorf salad is my favorite:

Dice some apples

Roast some chopped nuts

Toss in some grapes, or raisins

Add pinapple or other fruit, if you want

Toss with kefir, salt (you can add yogurt too, if

you want, and spices like cardamom if you

are in the mood).

Kefir cream goes over well with everyone I've

tried it on (we have mostly conventional-food

eaters as guests). If you mix kefir cream with

chopped cukes, cayenne, raw chopped garlic, salt, and

a little lemon juice, you get tzaziki, which is the

most addictive stuff on earth (one person said --

" Chicken is just an excuse to eat tzaziki " ). But

it isn't very traditional for Thanksgiving, unless

maybe you are Lebanese.

If you serve kefir cream as a side to a baked

potato though, most folks will just think it

is " sour cream " -- good quality sour cream --

and you don't have to " sneak " it at all.

I love the waldorf salad recipe and have added it to my list of

Thanksgiving recipes! Also I had forgotten about the kefir cream.

Thanks for reminding me! Wonderful suggestions! Thanks!

Before I was eating NT style and before I went gluten free, the fav

fruit salad at my house was a simple chopped apples, cut up bananas

and chopped english walnuts tossed with cool whip! (you will have to

toss the apples with a little lemon juice to keep them from turning)I

bet if I changed that cool whip to kefir cream, no one will know the

difference!

While I was waiting for some replys to my request I googled my

request and found this recipe that I will add here in case someone

else may need it. Enjoy!

Ambrosia Sauce for fruit salad

2 C yoghurt (I'm going to use kefir)

1T lime juice

1T lemon juice

1T orange juice

3oz honey

Combine all and mix well.

Pour over fruit

1/2 each of Pineapple, apple, cantalope, honedew, watermelon, grapes

red & green), strawberries and banana. I think I will change the

fruit to suit me and if it is ambrosia it needs some coconut. Don't

you think?

Not that I need to tell YOU guys... but this is an interesting aside on cool

whip.

My Mom used to make a delicious recipe that had cool whip, and when I

asked her why she doesn't make it anymore, she told me she met one of the

guys who invented Cool Whip...and he told her NEVER to eat it! Apparently

he suffers a guilty conscience for foisting such an artificial food on the

unsuspecting populace...lol!
