Strawberry Walnut Spinach Salad - Kacey's Shower

For Kacey's shower I also made a green salad, like I said I wanted to serve something spring-like so I decided to make this salad which has been a favorite of mine in the past and is WONDERFUL for entertaining. I got this recipe from Kraft Food and Family magazine.

Layered Strawberry Salad
4 cups baby spinach leaves
1 pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
3 cups torn Boston lettuce (I used romaine)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings (I put this on the side because I HATE onions, in fact it made me ill just to cut them!)
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup PLANTERS Walnut Halves, toasted
1/2 cup KRAFT Creamy Poppyseed Dressing

I also offered Raspberry and Ranch dressings, most people chose raspberry. I also included the recipe card in front of this dish so that everyone knew what it was. This salad was a big hit again and it did make everyone long for spring again! I served the salad with croissants from Sam's club, they were SO flaky and tender, yum!

Fruit Salad - Kacey's Shower

For my friend Kacey's shower I made a fruit salad that was delicious. Our friend Heidi is allergic to pineapple and anything it touches so I decided to leave it out even though I LOVE it. So here is my fruit salad recipe it was PLENTY (more than enough) for 20 people.

Fruit Salad
1 canteloupe
1 small seedless watermelon
3 kiwi fruit
2 cans of mandarin orange segments
2 big boxes of strawberries
1 small container of raspberries
1 big bunch of green grapes
1 big bunch of red grapes

I sliced all of the fruits the day before and kept them in seperate containers so that the fruit salad didn't get mushy. It was SO yummy. I also put a menu card in front of the fruit salad at the shower so everyone knew what was in the salad. I embelleshed it with a duck to go with the theme!
