The Everything Salad

I discovered this salad while planning a Stake Young Women dinner.
The name is so appropriate because it truly has a little bit of everything in it.

I tested it out on my family before feeding 150 people and it was so yummy!
Totally a full meal itself... just add some rosemary rolls (recipe to follow)

EVERYTHING SALAD
Lettuce - 1 head Romaine & 1 head Iceberg combo is good
1 c. chopped celery
1 avocado, sliced
1 bunch green onion, diced
1/2 c Craisins
1 apple, chopped
1 can Mandarin oranges
1 /2 c slivered almonds, sugared*
1/3 c Feta cheese, to taste
To make this salad more hearty I added a couple grilled chicken breasts (George Forman style) ...yummy!

DRESSING:
6 T. white wine vinegar
1/4 c. light extra virgin olive oil
3 T. sugar
Salt, pepper and chopped parsley to taste

Toss and serve! Serves 6-ish

*To sugar almonds, heat 4 T. sugar in small pan on med. high heat.
Add almonds and stir a few minutes until golden brown and tacky.

Triple Layer Rice Krispies Treats

Oh WOW!... I found the ultimate recipe for Rice Krispy squares. It is a triple layered treat with a layer of Peanut butter, chocolate and the original recipe!

Can you say... HEAVENLY?!
I tried out this recipe at Smart Night and the verdict was YUMMY!

Triple Layer Rice Krispies Treats

Bottom Layer:

1/2 cup Karo Syrup

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter (I like chunky)

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the Karo syrup and the sugar. Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth. Pour over the rice krispies and mix until well blended. Pour into a 9x13 inch greased baking pan and smash down evenly. Set aside while you work on the next layer.

Middle Layer:

4 tablespoons butter

3 c. mini marshmallows

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup milk chocolate chips

In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and marshmallows and heat for about 1 -2 minutes or until smooth. Add rice krispies and stir until well coated. Add chocolate chips and stir until well coated. Pour over the bottom layer of krispies and smash down evenly. Set aside while you work on the last layer.

Top Layer:

4 tablespoons butter

3 cups mini marshmallows

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and marshmallows and heat for about 1- 2 minutes or until smooth. Add rice krispies and stir until well coated. Pour over the middle layer of krispies and smash down evenly. Let set for about an hour before cutting into squares.

Total DELISH!!!
