[recipe] Rainbow Fruit Salad

[Guest guest]

If you are serving a smaller family or group, you can

easily cut this recipe in half. There are only four of us,

but we don't have any trouble polishing off a bowl of

this in a few days time, especially in the heat of summer.

Also, I have found that using lite cream cheese or

neufchattel (sp) cheese works just as well as regular.

 

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

 

With the fearful strain that is on me night and day,
