FRUIT SALAD WITH RICOTTA PINEAPPLE SAUCE



Fruit Salad with Ricotta Pineapple Sauce image

This is my doctored up version of a diet ambrosia salad my mom always made. I admit that this sounds strange, but it really is sweet and refreshing on a hot summer day! (It's not as low-cal as hers.) It's also easy to adjust to your family's fruit preferences. Be sure to drain the fruit very well so the salad is not too soupy.
