This fruit salad is perfect for a backyard bbq party or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the citrusy sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it.

Mizuna, Cheese, and Sausage Sandwich Toast
Mizuna is usually used in Japanese salads. In this recipe, I tried to use it in a sandwich toast and it went well. This would be a good substitute for lettuce.
Hard Cranberry Limeade
This hard cranberry limeade is similar to the cranberry limeade from Sonic, but with vodka. Be careful—these can sneak up on you.
Seven Layer Salad
This 7-layer salad looks great in a large glass bowl. I usually make it with bacon, lettuce, red onion, pea, Cheddar cheese, and cauliflower but you can vary the type of onions, cheese, etc. There's never too much because everybody loves it!
