Angel Pineapple Layer Trifle

This is a yummy and easy dessert that's sure to  please at your next family gathering!

1 Can Crushed Pineapple, with juice undrained. 
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup (or a little more) whipped topping

1 round shortbread or angel food cake, sliced into layers.

Strawberries for topping

Mix the pineapple and juice with the pudding mix. Add in whipped topping.

Put bottom layer of cake in a trifle bowl, spread pineapple mixture on top, layer and repeat. If the cake is a ring cake, add strawberries in the middle.  Add strawberries for decoration on top.

(I used 2 cakes, and took one layer from one to add to the three layers  of the other.)

Bi-coastal Salsa Chop up these ingredients and put in a big bowl: 3 cloves garlic 3 green onions 1 small or ½ large red onion 1 small or 1 large Vidalia or sweet onion (1/2 jalepeno) 3-5 Tomatoes 1 green bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 1 orange bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper (purple bell peppers are nice too, if available) ½ bunch chopped cilantro Mix together: 1-2 tbs red wine vinegar ¼ C lime juice (juice of 1 large  lime or two small ones) Grated lime peel Pepper ¼ tbs ground cumin 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp olive oil (or other salad oil of your choice) I adapted this recipe from two different salsa recipes.   One was from an LA Weigh Loss cook book, and another was from the South Beach cookbook… so, I named this “Bi-Coastal Salsa”!

Summer Spinach Salad Dressing

Summer Spinach Salad Dressing 2/3 cup sugar or Splenda 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 small onion, finely chopped (in the food processor) 4 teaspoons prepared mustard (I use Dijon or deli mustard) 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper This was originally recorded in my recipe journal on July 10, 2004 and came from a Taste of Home magazine.   My mom used to work in a FACS department and would get all the old Taste of Home Magazines.   I would sit and peruse them for hours trying to find things that looked good to try to make! Since it is such a sweet dressing, it pairs nicely with spinach, fruit and nuts.
