Desperation Dessert

Submitted by 3KillerBs

"I forgot that it was the week for the Conservation Club's picnic and got caught with my pantry down. Our section of the alphabet was supposed to bring a dessert and I'm not that good at desserts to begin with. Fortunately, DH was able to pick up some whipped topping on the way home from work and I tossed this fruit salad together. It came out surprisingly well."

Can't be easier. You can add cocnut and fresh grapes too--ambrosia.
