Hi Darlene~

I'm enjoying all the recipes that have been posted..and now will be able to make and take one to our daughter's 4th of July BBQ.

I'm tending to like the suggested one from Jazz for "Betty's Confetti Salad"...(using Shrimp,)

Sorry I can't be of help..since I usually make the Betty Crocker "Ranch" Suddenly Salad.

Thanks to all and "Happy 4th of July."

Hugs~ Joann
