Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.

A little sweet and a little creamy, this copycat salad makes a great snack or light lunch. It's pretty filling thanks to the chopped walnuts and raisins while the celery and apples give it an outstanding crunch factor.
2 cups chopped apples (peeled if desired)
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped water chestnuts
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Combine the apples, celery, walnuts, water chestnuts, raisins, and pineapple in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.
In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Mix until the brown sugar is dissolved.
Fold the dressing into the apple mixture, stirring to coat the salad evenly in the dressing.
Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until ready to serve the apple salad (refrigerate no more than 3 hours before serving).

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

A good side dish to take on picnics and barbecues. I did half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt in the sauce.
