"Sweet salads are a wonderful Midwestern tradition, and you won't find a truck stop buffet with fewer then hald a dozen choices that are deliciously creamy, and filled with fruit. And no self-respecting family gathering would be complete without a selection of everyone's best-loved favorites.
 
 If you're been raised to eat these luscious geletin dishes only for dessert, I hope you'll decide to give our beloved heartland custom a try. You may be amazed to discover that a spoonful or two of deliciously decadent sweet salad may satisfy your tummy as fully as a fat-and-sugar-laden dessert! And knowing it's healthy will just make it taste even better."
