CELEBRATION FRUIT SALAD

I love this Fruit Salad! It is so festive and perfect for any celebration but it is especially welcome on The Fourth of July and Christmas dinner tables. Personally, I serve it at all family gatherings and everyone loves it. You can make as much or as little as you need based on the number of guests. And you do not need to add sugar because the white chocolate chips add just enough sweetness. I hope you will try this wonderful and beautiful fruit salad.

CHRISTMAS FRUIT SALAD

It was at the very first Thanksgiving I spent with my husband's family that I tasted this for the first time. My mother-in-law shared the recipe. I serve it for special occasions, plus it's a main-stay at the potlucks we have at work. After 41 years of marriage, my husband and I still enjoy the salad - along with our four children and their spouses and our nine grandchildren. -Ina Vickers, Dumas, Arkansas
