Romaine leaves
4 c. torn mixed salad greens
1 med. apple, cored and sliced
1/4 c. shredded coconut
1 c. raisins, chopped pitted dates or chopped dried, pitted prunes
1/2 c. slivered almonds
1/2 c. shredded carrot
1/2 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 c. dairy sour cream
1/4 c. orange marmalade
1 tbsp. milk

Line a large salad bowl with romaine leaves. Place torn mixed greens in center of bowl. Arrange apple slices around the edge of the bowl. Sprinkle with coconut. Arrange raisins, dates or prunes; almonds; and carrot in a circular design atop lettuce. Cover and chill.

For dressing, combine the mayonnaise or salad dressing, sour cream, marmalade, and milk. Cover and chill.

Just before serving, spoon dressing over salad. Toss to coat. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

To prevent the apple slices from darkening before serving time, toss them in a mixture of lemon juice and water. Drain well and add them to the salad as directed.
