Comments

You can line a platter with lettuce leaves or kale leave and place the salad on it for a beautiful presentation or you can cut it into slices and serve on individual lettuce leaves. You can make this a week ahead of the holiday and take out of the freezer an hour or so before dinner and then unmold. Sure makes the holiday kitchen rush a little easier doing it ahead. This recipe started out using real cream cheese and real sour cream, not to mention canned fruits in heavy syrup, but I've lightened it up over the years. Still tastes just the same...delicious!
