[recipe*] Rainbow Fruit Salad

[Guest guest]

I was looking through my recipe folders for

a nice fruity dessert, and came across this

one that I haven't made in a while.

It is so good and easy. You can use frozen berries

if you can't find fresh; you can use any colorful

combination of fruits you find appealing.

It makes a lot of servings, but if you are like us it

sure won't last long even if there are only 4 of you.

We eat leftovers for snacks and with breakfast.

 

Rainbow Fruit Salad

 

2 large firm bananas, sliced

2 Tbs lemon juice

2 cups cubed sweet mellon (your choice)

2 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks

1 pint fresh strawberries, halved

1 pint fresh blueberries

3 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced

2 packages (3oz each) cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

2 Tbs fresh lime juice

1/2 tsp grated lime peel

1 cup whipping cream, whipped

 

Toss bananas and lemon juice; place in a 4-qt. glass

serving bowl. Add remaining fruit layers. In a mixing

bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add

sugar, lime juice and peel. Stir in a small amount of

whipped cream; mix well. Fold in remaining whipped

cream. Spread over fruit. Chill until serving.

Yield: 16 to 20 servings
