Shimmering Tropical Fruit

Ingredients

1

can (15 1/4 ounce) tropical fruit salad

1

package (4-serving size) lemon or peach gelatin

8

sprigs parsley, optional

Dipping Sauce

1

carton (8 ounces) lowfat vanilla yogurt

1

cup chopped strawberries

Directions

1. Place strainer inside a mixing bowl. Pour tropical fruit salad into strainer, drain juice. Pour drained juice into a measuring cup. Add enough water to juice, making a total of 1 3/4 cups of liquid.
2. Heat liquid in a saucepan over medium high heat. When it boils, turn the heat off and carefully move pan to a heat-proof surface. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Chill gelatin in refrigerator until it slightly thickens, about 45 minutes.
3. Stir in fruit and pour gelatin into either the mold or cups. Put into the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 2 1/4 hours.
4. To unmold, fill sink 3/4 full with warm water. Quickly dip mold into water (or remove muffin cup liners). Turn the mold over onto a platter and let the salad slip out. Decorate with parsley.
