Hi, this is Emili, Jenni’s sister.  I am always in desperate need for healthy recipes that taste good and help satisfy my sweet tooth!  I’ve made this salad for a few different get-togethers with friends and its always been a huge hit!

I’m definitely a picky eater (you mean there are more food groups than cheese, chocolate and eggs out there?) and I’m always on the lookout for healthy recipes my family (and especially I) will like!

This salad was adapted by a friend of mine (thanks Anne) from our local Harmon’s deli, and  I’ve further evolved it to fit my tastes.  The first time I saw it I was scared to death to even give it a try.  Such a random combination of foods that I don’t know if I like, and it just looked so weird.

I took a tiny bit on my plate so as not to offend my friend who so graciously brought it, only to find out it was the most delicious concoction I had sampled in the previous month.  I went back for about 6 servings (that might be an exaggerated estimate, or not), and when no one was eating the last couple of bites, I went back for more (did I mention I was pregnant when I discovered this salad?)  And after we had licked the bowl clean, I was still left wanting.

Yep, it’s really THAT good.  So let’s get down to how you can make some of this yummy happiness for yourself. Read more…
