FRUIT MEDLEY SALAD
Cream cheese and yogurt form the light dressing that coats this fast fruit medley. The salad is a snap to assemble because it takes advantage of canned peaches, pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges you likely keep in your pantry. Miniature marshmallows add a sweet touch. -Brittany Tyrrell, Manchester, Iowa

FRUIT MEDLEY SALAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Open and drain canned fruits with a strainer and let excess juice drain well for about 20 minutes. In a mixing bowl or measuring glass combine all-purpose cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla or almond extract. Check the sweetness according to your taste and adjust, but don't forget that marshmallows are sweet too.
- Combine drained fruits and marshmallows in a deep serving dish or container preferably with a lid. (A fresh ripe mangoes can also be added on this recipe for a superb taste. Just avoid adding over ripe ones or it will be mushy and we don't like that, hehe). Mix fruits and marshmallows gently and add in the cream mixture and toss gently to coat the fruits evenly.
- Cover your salad with a lid or plastic cling wrap and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. You can add mint to garnish or a scoop of vanilla or mango ice cream, if you like. Any leftovers must be stored in an airtight container and keep refrigerated to avoid spoilage. This fruit medley salad will last for a week if stored properly.

Steps:
- In a resealable plastic bag, combine the cantaloupe, watermelon and grapes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, honey and lime juice. Stir in the jalapeno and lime peel.
- Pour over the fruit. Seal bag, removing as much air as possible, and turn to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Just before serving, add the peeled and sliced kiwi to the salad, tossing with the dressing to coat.
- Serve with a slotted spoon.
- Optionally, you could cut the melon into balls with a melon baller, but this takes longer and the contrast of the chunky melon pieces with the round grapes makes a nice presentation.

CREAMY FRUIT MEDLEY
Last but not least, Yvonne tosses together an effortless sweet treat to cap off the meal. "I received the recipe for Creamy Fruit Medley from a friend of my mother's years ago," she recalls. "I always have the ingredients on hand in case I need a quick dessert. "Any flavor of gelatin works well, and sometimes I spoon it into individual parfait glasses instead of serving it in one big bowl," Yvonne suggests. "Everyone enjoys it."

FROZEN FRUIT MEDLEY
These are great to have in the freezer. They make a fruity, crunchy snack, kind of like a sherbet pop when eaten frozen, or thaw slightly and serve as a salad or dessert.
