FESTIVE FRUIT SALAD

This is a lighter version of the beloved Ambrosia salad. You have to start 24 hours before you plan to serve this.

• 2 cups non-fat vanilla yogurt
• 1 20oz can pineapple chunks in juice, drained
• 2 10oz cans mandarin oranges
• 4 large bananas, sliced
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows

First make yogurt cheese. Put a layer of cheesecloth into a sieve or funnel and put over a bowl. Pour yogurt into the cheesecloth. Let it drain in the refrigerator over night. The creamy mixture that remains is called yogurt cheese. There should be about 1 cup.

In a large bowl, combine the fruits and marshmallows. Add the yogurt cheese and toss to mix. Cover the salad and chill 1 to 3 hours before serving.
