Answer 2

How about a seasonal fruit salad? Mix about 4-5 clementines in segments with the seeds from a medium sized pomegranate in 1/4 cup orange juice with a tiny dash of vanilla extract and 3 tbsps. of Tuaca, a spiced vanilla liqueur from Italy. Let it set over night, and stir up from the bottom. Make a booze-free batch for the kids! Good as a salad, or at dessert over pound cake and ice cream.

So this is a quick one that i kinda made up, but kinda copied. Ok so get some Rotoni noodles, or whatever kind, a bottle of Italian dressing, a cucumber, a can of sliced olives, a tomato, parmasean cheese, cook noodles and mix all that together. It's yummy, or at least I like it and it lasts forever or good for a big crowd. good luck

Answer 8

Make a Snicker's salad! Get a container of whipped cream and about six to seven candy bars (full ones not the snack size ones) and three apples diced up small, it is so yummy and can be a desert!!!

Answer 9

Portabella mushrooms may well be utilized in many Italian dishes. good luck

My favorite is a seven layer salad:

Layer these items or add/change to make it your own

Lettuce
Tomatoes
Shredded Cheese
Frozen Peas
Mayonnaise
Green Onion
Bacon (some use bits, but I used slices I've chopped in larger squares)

This is always a hit, and VERY easy to make.
