Method

All ingredients should be chilled. Julienne ham slices and return them to refrigerator to keep chilled. Peel lettuce leaves from head and tear into 3-4 inch sized pieces. Place lettuce leaves onto individual salad plates and prepare Pineapple Date Salad as follows: Combine dates, celery, apple and pineapple and mix all together in just enough Miracle Whip to give salad a moist consistency. Place mixed salad on lettuce cups and top with ham slices. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

 

Notes: Delicious when served alone and excellent when served with grilled shish kabobs of meat and shrimp. Serve salad with a platter of thin cut wedges of assorted cheeses and a basket of chewy peasant bread, torn into piece.

 

Number of Servings: 4
