      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!

        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.
