Broccoli salad + Fruit Pizza

Here's the broccoli salad recipe:
lots of broccoli florettes (i love that word)
raisins
sunflower seeds
chopped red onion

Throw above ingredients in a bowl.

Dressing:
1+1/2 cups mayonaise
1/2 cup sugar (or less)
4 T red wine vinegar
2 T curry powder (or so, as much as required for a nice maize tint)
Combine. Toss with broccoli & company.

Fruit Pizza

This one's from memory so I'm not sure it's completely accurate.

Spread sugar cookie dough (I usually get one of those pillsbury refrigerated rolls) across pizza pan (or other circular pan if you don't have a pizza pan). Bake as instructed for sugar cookies. While crust is baking, combine half cup of lemon juice and a half cup of sugar and cook over medium heat. (This is the part I'm not so sure of so if you have a different method for making lemon curd you should probably use that.) Once sugar is dissolved and mixture thickens, remove from heat.
Melt a couple of tablespoons of raspberry (or blackberry or strawberry...) jam in microwave. Cut up some fruit, any kind you like.
Spread lemon curd over crust, then jam, then fruit. Sprinkle sugar over fruit and broil a minute or so until sugar melts and fruit looks glazed. Remove from oven. Cool. Eat.
