Make Ahead. Three simple ingredients create a complex, creamy, marmalade-kissed dressing. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups vanilla low-fat yogurt |
1 1/2 tablespoons flaked coconut |
1 1/2 tablespoons low-sugar orange marmalade |
1 medium-size red delicious apple |
1 medium pear |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
20 (1-inch) fresh pineapple chunks |
20 seedless green or red grapes |
20 fresh strawberries, capped |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients; cover and chill.
2. Core apple and pear; cut each into 20 bite-size pieces. Toss apple and pear pieces with lemon juice.
3. Thread fruit alternately onto 20 (6-inch) wooden skewers. Serve kabobs with coconut dressing.
4. Note: Since coconut is a plant food, it contains no cholesterol. However, coconut is very high in fat, and the fat is mostly saturated, which increases blood cholesterol. If you're a coconut lover, don't give it up altogether; enjoy it in very small amounts as in the recipe above.
