Comments: To cook
fresh sweet potatoes, scrub and peel them, place them in a pan and cover with
water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat
to a simmer and cook until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain well. For a richer version, use evaporated skim milk or
cream to replace the milk.

Celebration Salad
Freezing
Directions:
Cover
the salad with the container lid, plastic wrap, or slide it inside a 2-gallon
freezer bag. Freeze on a level
surface so the salad does not become lopsided.
To
Serve:
Set the salad out at room temperature about 10
minutes before serving. Molded
salads should be inverted onto chilled serving plates.
If the salad does not come out of the mold easily, dip the mold in hot
water for about ten seconds and then unmold.
Salad frozen in serving container or freezer container can be sliced into
squares and served onto chilled plates.
Comments: The
candied fruits may be used to decorate the surface of the salad that is served
from a container. A pretty design
can be made with them on the white layer before freezing, or the salad can be
cut and then decorated after it is on serving plates.

Fat Alternatives:
Use low fat or fat free whipped topping. Reduce
the amount of chopped nuts or omit them completely.
