Recipe: Hey, Page

Your menu looks great. For your salad, how about a cole slaw with red grapes. I am posting one recipe below from Mastercook. I think I would omit the apples for your event so you can make the salad ahead. And, I think I would cut the red grapes in half... I like grape cut in half. To me they become a special accent to the dish, not just grapes in the salad. (I learned that in my first year of college in my "Psychology of Grapes 101" class. :-)

Fruit and Sour Cream Coleslaw

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : Fruits Salads

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups shredded cabbage
2 apples -- sliced thinly
1 can pineapple chunks in juice -- drained
1/2 cup green grapes
1/2 cup red grapes
--- Dressing: -----
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar -- to taste
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
1 dash ground cinnamon -- to taste

1. Shred cabbage very fine, place into covered bowl or plastic bag and
chill.

2. Dressing: Blend together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, lemon
juice, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Chill.

3. Drain pineapple very well, wash grapes and add to pineapple; chill.
Just before serving, wash, core and slice apples into thin slices, then
in half again. Mix apples along with grapes and pineapple into cabbage.
Toss to blend well.

4. Add dressing and toss to coat. Don't add dressing all at once in case
you don't need it all. This is a little different than the usual
coleslaw, but very good and easy to prepare. Prepare ingredients ahead of
time, then put salad together whenever you wish.

teaspoons celery seed.
