A nice light dish that can serve as either salad or a dessert. Low in calories, and easy. One of my favorites! You can of course substite jello favors and type of you don't like the sugar free stuff. And the choice of fruit is open as well!

We make this with cream cheese (4 oz.) and use sprite instead of half the water for the Jello (like instead of the one cup ice water). SOOOOoooo good! We also add about a cup of "chopped" pecans. We also omit step 3 and throw it all in there at once!
