Ambrosia? Fruit Salad?

While at my great friend Bonnie's , I ate this yummy, low fat dish she made. I called the other day and she couldn't remember the recipe. We think it was a take on Ambrosia, and she knew that it had Dannon vanilla yogurt in it. So I went by the grocery store today and came home and whipped it up. Sandy will be so glad that I am posting something healthy and light! So..it could be called Ambrosia or just fruit salad..doesn't really matter, but its very good! I love the tangy hint from the vanilla yogurt.


3/4 cup dannon light and fit vanilla yogurt (I suppose any would work..this was the lowest in fat, compared to yoplait)

2 bananas, sliced

1 15 oz can mandarin oranges, drained

1 lg can pineapple chunks, drained

maraschino cherries

coconut

Combine all ingredients and chill. I did not add the coconut to mine. My husband doesn't like it, so I just sprinkled some sweetened flaked coconut on my own serving. Put as many cherries in as you like.

Yummy!

This is a blog for me to follow! P.J. and I both LOVE cooking. I'm looking forward to having a place of our own again so we can start cooking again. I'll definitely try some of these recipes. I love this fruit salad. I've also had it made with sour cream and mini marshmallows instead of yogurt, but I do prefer the yogurt since I love it!

Hi, I tried to leave a comment a minute ago but I think it got eaten by my computer.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Your recipe looks great.

I was just wondering how you pronounced your name, since so many people mispronounce mine.
