Turkey Salad Polynesian
2 cups pineapple chunks, drained if canned
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 t curry powder
1/4 t salt
3/4 cup mayonaise
2 T chopped cchutney
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup salted peanuts or cashews
1/2 cup flaked coconut,
1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
lettuce leaves or pineapple bowls*
In large bowl, combine turkey, pineapple, celery, curry powder, toss lightly. Cover and hill at least 2 hours. Just before serving, slice banana. Add banana and nuts to turkey mixture. Serve in lettuce cups; garnish with coconut and oranges.
*If you use pineapple bowls I would recommend using 1/4 of a pineapple and cut the flesh from skin (but leave it in place)
so it can be enjoyed as well.

Strawberry Mold
Strawberry Mold
2 (3-ounce) packages strawberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
2 (10-ounce) cartons frozen strawberries
1 cup chopped pecans
3 medium bananas, sliced (optional)
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

Dissolve the gelatin the boiling water. Add the remaining ingredients except the sour cream. Pour half of the mixture in a salad mold; let chill until firm.

Jell-O salads are not real popular right now but sweet salads are tasty served with turkey or pork.
