Dill Cucumber Sandwich
The image “http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/veggies/images/cucumber.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Combine mayo and whipped cream to look like tuna salad mix. Add dill seasoning. You'll have to gadge this like you would salt. You can peel or not peel the cucumber. Slice into circles but trimming the ends. You can cut bread into circles or just trim off the ends, up to you. Add mixture then cucumber. Sprinkle enough dill seasoning to decorate.

Easy Orange Vinaigrette

1/2 C orange marmalade
1/4 apple cider vinegar

Whisk together and add to salad or chicken.

Broccoli Salad

Ingredients:
Broccoli, cut up very small
Red onion, a small one diced
1 C. mayonnaise
2Tablespoon apple cider vinegar, but distilled is fine

Combine mayo, vinegar and sugar. Drizzle on top of broccoli and red onion.

Optional: you can also add raisins, grapes, or celery

Easy Chicken Salad

Ingredients:
Cooked rotisseri chicken
Chopped celery
Pecans
Mayonnaise
Grapes

Separate chicken off the bone. Skin can be included is desired. Put in mixer to cut up. Combine all other ingredients like you would make tuna salad. Serve on top of salad or make into a sandwich (I use a sub roll).


Frozen Fruit

Ingredients:
Crushed pineapple, drained
Frozen raspberry or strawberry or both
Cream cheese (1 box)
Whip Cream (1 small tub)
Jello-mix (any fruit kind, but I use the strawberry)

Cut berries into bite size pieces. Combine all. Freeze. Cut into squares. Great as a side with a summer salad.
