Fruity Fruit Salad - Holiday Dessert Recipes for Dieters

Because the holidays are packed with so many sugary treats and delicious treasures, our Fruity Fruit Salad makes a nice change without sacrificing taste. And it's great to feel good about what we eat.

Simply combine the following ingredients in a pretty bowl and keep a container of whipped topping close by. We recommend either Cool Whip FREE or whipping cream in a can - the light variety which contains a scant 15 calories per serving - the same as Cool Whip FREE.

You will need the following ingredients for this diet-wise recipe:

1 small can of fruit cocktail in its natural juice

1 large apple, cored and chopped

1/2 cup of mini marshmallows

1 small can of drained mandarin oranges in natural juice

1 Tablespoon of shredded coconut

1 Tablespoon of chopped walnuts

1 Tablespoon of light brown sugar

Cherries (in a jar with syrup) - 10 calories each so use about 1/2 the jar taking care to drain off the sugary juice
