AUNT SHIRLEY'S "TROPIC-TANG" FRUIT SALAD



Aunt Shirley's

This is a unique Fruit Salad that is wonderful to have during the summer. (Although, I also find myself craving this during the winter months too!) I always have requests to bring this to family functions and never have any left over. As a result, I always double this recipe when preparing it for family gatherings.

JOY'S GREEN BANANA SALAD



Joy's Green Banana Salad image

A recipe from my kitchen when I was in Puerto Rico made with green bananas, sweet onion and bacon in a vinegar dressing. I have served it to my North American friends and they love it as well. It is great to serve instead of the same ol' potato salad. Dare to try something new?
