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.

Iyou don t like the grainy texture of ricotta then why would you make a recipe that is based on it and then give it a low score? That s so nasty! I don t like eggplant so should I make recipes with eggplant and then give them one star because they still taste like eggplant?! Same thing right? Read More
