FRUIT SALAD WITH RICOTTA PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Fruit Salad with Ricotta Pineapple Sauce image

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.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup white sugar
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
2 (15.25 ounce) cans fruit cocktail, drained
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
3 apples, cored and diced
2 nectarines, pitted and diced

Steps:

In a large non-metallic serving bowl, stir together the crushed pineapple, sugar, and ricotta cheese until well blended.

The longer you refrigerate before serving, the better it will taste.
