Fruit Dip


Ingredients

1 small package of french vanilla pudding
2 cups cold milk
1 small container of cool whip
Almond extract to taste

Directions:
Make pudding according to package (most use about 2 cups cold milk) however, before you stick the mixture in the refrigerator to cool add the majority of the container of cool whip. Once this is combined add almond extract. I don't measure it I just add a bit at a time until the mixture has a nice almond flavor. If you are trying it by itself It has a stronger almond taste but it needs to be on the stronger side otherwise the fruit will over power it when used as a dip.

Combine with any of your favorite fruits. I love strawberries, bananas and pineapple

Grill Salmon brushing frequently the OJ mixture. Cool slightly


Toss together greens, strawberries and cucumber slices and divide evenly between two plates


Break salmon into chunks. Arrange salmon on greens mixture. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with pepper.


I really liked this salad it was delicious. It's not clean because of the OJ concentrate. To make clean you could try fresh squeezed OJ possibly and use extra virgin olive oil. Also, you can make the salmon have more flavor by using just OJ concentrate instead of the mixture.
