In the old days of WW, fruit salads were served in limited quantities—and usually bulked up with vegetables like green peppers and pimientos.The dressings tended to be made with pureed cottage cheese, diet ginger ale, artificial sweetener, and other alchemy. And, of course, kiwi fruits were unknown and bananas were forbidden. What a pleasure it is to improve on the past and enjoy this refreshing salad, as perfect for lunch as it is for dessert. You could layer this fruit-packed treat in a pretty parfait glass and top it with some strawberries and a sprig of mint for entertaining. It's a great finish to a book club meal or lunch meeting. Or take it with you to the office. Just keep it cold until you're ready to enjoy!
