LIGHT AND LEMONY FRUIT SALAD/DESSERT



Light and Lemony Fruit Salad/Dessert image

DD#2 needed a quick, light "something" to take to a picnic an hour after she got home from work. I remembered reading a salad recipe with a package of pudding added so I opened the cupboard and started draining and dumping. She came home with an empty bowl and requested I make more for home. That's a good sign I think! (Cooking time is for refrigeration)
