Ambrosia Salad
Ambrosia, just the name congers up all sorts of memories.  Picnics, days at the beach, or potluck dinners.  As for the recipe, the calorie count is under 100 per serving, and only 1 gram of saturated fat.  This is all made with canned fruit & sour cream. The only thing fresh is the grapes.  If you want to add 1/4 Cup coconut flakes, the recipe is still under 100 calories. Quick? You bet only about 5 min prep.  Easy?  Well how hard can it be to open a can of fruit.  You can put this together in the morning, refrigerate and you've got a great salad for dinner.  Or, instead of a late night snack of cookies, or ice cream how about a serving of ambrosia?  My only variation to this recipe I added 1 packet of equal.
