Orange Cycle Salad

3-4 oranges, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
1 cup small marshmallows
1/4 cup almond slivers
2 Tbl. sugar, if needed
1 Tbl. mayonnaise
1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix all together and chill.

As a kid I couldn't get enough of those ice creams on a stick called Dream Cycles/Orange Cycles. The vanilla ice cream inside with the orange on the outside were so refreshing. This salad reminds me of those ice cream truck treats. The only thing I would change might be the nuts but even a change that small will change this salad's flavor.

Fruit Dip

1 carton (8 oz.) sour cream
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar

Combine sour cream, cream cheese and sugar blending well with an electric mixer. Serve with fresh fruit.

This is such a simple but delicious dip for fruit. I've tried it with apples, strawberries, peaches, kiwi and believe it or not, even oranges. Each fruit gives the dip a different flavor that blend so well with the cream cheese and sour cream. If you want it a little sweeter, increase the sugar adding 1 tsp. at a time until it's the sweetness you desire. This dish is perfect for any gathering at any time.
