Pot o’ gold fruit dip and rainbow fruit platter

t (Serves 4-8)

Ingredients:

t
• Strawberries

t

• Cantaloupe

t

• Pineapple

t

• Melon

t

• Blueberries

t

• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

t

• 1 (3 ounce) packet dry instant vanilla pudding mix

t

• 1/2 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

t

Directions:

t
1. In a large mixing bowl, blend the whipped topping, vanilla pudding and lemonade concentrate using your electric mixer. Set the fruit dip aside.

t

2. Cut up your fruit (except for the blueberries) into bite-size pieces.

t

3. On a large platter, arrange your fruit in the shape of a rainbow. Do you remember the colors of a rainbow from grade school? Order your fruit in the following pattern: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. (Well, I could not think of any purple fruit, so I stopped at blueberries.)

t

4. Set a dish on the tray at the end of your “fruit rainbow.” Fill the bowl with your pot o’ gold (lemon fruit dip) and serve!
