Carol Richardson’s Excellent Fruit Salad/Dessert

· 1 Qt Buttermilk
· 1 (6 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
· 1 (12 or 16 oz) tub of cool whip (either size works, use more or less depending on how many you’re serving!)
· 3 cups of frozen fruit (easiest is Costco’s frozen triple berry mix – blueberries, strawberries and …some other kind of berry, but any small frozen fruit will work)

Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl. Add pudding mix and whisk or blend until thick. Add cool whip and more gently blend it in. About ½ hour before serving, fold in frozen fruit.

Keep refrigerated. You can use the buttermilk/pudding/cool whip part of this recipe as a fruit dip and serve fresh fruit separately. Before you add in the fruit, the pudding part can last for a few days and be tasty. After you add the fruit, the salad will need to be eaten within a day or so. It doesn’t save very well. You can make this salad early waiting to fold in the fruit until you’re ready to serve.

Jody's Pasta Salad

  • Tri-color pasta: cook until done (a little firm)
  • Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Purple Onion, Green or Red Pepper, ham and cheese: cut all into cubes
  • 1 Large bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing: (depending on the size of salad - I use the entire bottle because the pasta soaks it up,* this is the secret to moist Pasta salad) Add shredded Parmesan Cheese. Toss all items together and serve.

*It tastes really good the second day.
