A Summer Salad Classic
Do you know this salad? It was quite popular when I was a young adult, in the early '80's. I suspect it was an invention of the 1970's "health food" movement, which took the charmingly naive view that vegetables were healthy, but fat and sugar were what tasted good, and so created a number of dishes requiring the metabolism of a race-horse to digest, but which had vegetables and whole grains, and so were "healthy".

Broccoli Salad with Bacon, Cranberries & Onion
Italian Dressing is traditionally made with olive oil, of course. However, the local sunflower seed oil which is cold-pressed retains a lovely nutty, sunflower-seed flavour and is equally good, in my opinion.
Some people make their unbaked strawberry pie with gelatine, but I don't think it is nearly as good as this way. It is a little soft and goopy, and doesn't tend to serve as prettily, but that will be forgotten the minute the first bite is taken.
