Holiday Every Day Berry Fruit Salad

Submitted by Nodnyl

"Easy, fast, good for you, and delicious, this fruit salad looks pretty, too. My wife Romelle made it for a Thanksgiving church luncheon and it was gone within a few minutes with rave reviews. The Cool Whip and yogurt mixture is the key, creating a light consistency that holds its shape. The amounts don't matter, just the ratio. I'm sure it's been done many ways, but it doesn't get any easier than this!"

My family Loved this dish. It was very easy but maybe a little pricey, but I used 4 different berries so that was my own doing. Very light and satisfying for a hot summer day. Definitely a keeper!
