All of these look amazing and I’ve been in salad mode lately. Like dressing free and using cheese, dried fruit and herbs to pull in the flavor. It’s been a challenge but so good! However that fruit salad looks amazing. I’m headed to the farmer’s market tomorrow look out!

Love 7 layer salad and I want to try the red potato salad. Made my PS 3 times already and I am done til Labor Day. The kids eat the pasta salad I make better so that will have to do. I can’t stand that long. Need a new hip. But I think I will make 7 layer for the 4 th.

Thanks Jody. We have the same issue in my family. Once you make something they like then they always want it that way. I still like to try different things too. I hope you have a lovely holiday and enjoy the salads.
