Florida Salad

[wendilla]

Could I please have some of your recipies of your own homemade Florida Salad. Must be very low calorie. Thanks.

I'd never even heard of Florida Salad, so I can't help directly. (Sorry!)

However this recipe has been contributed by a member of the Food.com website, tagged as 'Low calorie' and well-reviewed by another member (who also suggests some possible changes). So perhaps it's worth a look?

Imitation crab meat? Is that seafood sticks?

Thanks for that Chris not exactly what I was looking for but I am certainly going to try that one looks really nice. We get this Florida Salad in small tubs in the supermarkets but it is very high in fat and calories so I just wondered if some people had their own recipes.

I would think so ummmm or I would think I could prawns with the low fat dressing I can get in supermarket for making prawn cocktails

hi wendilla. I would look at the shop bought product then do a 'post mortem' on the main ingredients which will probably be the lower calories, then substitute the mayo dressing with one made from 50% low fat creme fraiche and 50% extra light mayo, + squeeze of lemon juice. I have a feeling the shop bought Florida salad has canned pineapple and cherries? make sure any canned fruit you use is in fruit juice not syrup which would hike up the calories.

Hi wendilla if you google Florida salad(healthy recipe) there is one by Tarla Dalal which has low fat paneer plus lots of low fat ingredients.

THEMORRIGAN what a good idea I never thought of that and yes there is fruit in it whih could be high if in syrup.

Vakayu thanks for reply some of the ingredients I don't like and might be a bit spicey but thanks for your time to reply. Just need something plain and simple to make .
