Lorraines Famous Spaghetti Ring Fruit Salad

Submitted by jobmom

"the grand children always want my mother in law to make this salad when they visit. It is an update on an OLD recipe that calls for a cooked dressing --she has gone modern and uses the microwave and add cool whip instead of making her own whipped cream.She makes about a triple batch in a big tupperware bowl and keeps the leftovers in the fridge -- be sure to stir leftovers and eat with in about a day. Spaghetti rings are a little hard to find where I shop, You could probably substitute something like alphabet shapes or even fine spaghetti cut in tiny pieces but the rings are the best."
