What we ARE NOT eating, Wednesday, Tuna, Banana and Pineapple Salad

Not many of the cookbooks on the shelves have recipes I won't eat. Not so true for Honey, he has a different food palette and will simply not fill his plate if he does not like the food being served. He will then have a Pepsi and a candy bar or cookies as dinner. But this next one, honestly I would have no desire to eat.

Tuna Banana and Pineapple Salad
not cooked from:
Sunset Salad Book
The introduction:

If you wish to serve a "conversation piece" here's a salad 

that fits into that category. 

The combination is unusual - and a pleasant surprise. 

3 bananas

1 c drained diced pineapple

1/4 c celery

1/4 t salt

3/4 c salad dressing (I think the reference is for Miracle Whip or like product)

2 T lemon juice

1 can (7oz) tuna, flaked

lettuce leaves

Peel and dice the bananas and combine with diced pineapple. Mix celery, salt, salad dressing and lemon juice. Fold in fruit, the add drained and flaked tuna. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves.

Makes 6-8 servings

I have an interesting collection of "finds" from wandering, lets take a look shall we?

Did you remember to put extra bags of cranberries in the freezer? I wish I had, this sounds too good to miss out on.

Do you have a ham bone in the freezer waiting? If not grab a couple of ham hocks at the market and make this!

Dinner rolls of the best kind, easy and delicious. This would also be great to make with little ones.

Proof positive that eating well is not expensive. LeAnn is running a series on this topic.

And don't forget about making what you buy prepared, at home from scratch. It is not hard and you just might have a good time too!
