Perfect appetizers or breakfast treats. The creamy marmalade-kissed dressing tastes more complex than it would seem with its three simple ingredients. Taken form Southern Living's Low-Fat, Low-Calorie cookbook.
1 med. size red apple, unpeeled
1 med. pear, unpeeled
1 tbsp. lemon juice
21 unsweetened pineapple chunks
21 seedless red or green grapes
21 fresh strawberries, capped
Coconut Dressing


Cut apple and pear each into 21 bite size pieces. Add lemon juice; toss gently.Alternate apple, pineapple, grape, pear and strawberry on a wooden skewer. Repeat with remaining fruit. Serve with Coconut Dressing. Yields 21.


COCONUT DRESSING:


1 1/2 c. vanilla low-fat yogurt
1 1/2 tbsp. flaked coconut
1 1/2 tbsp. reduced-calorie orange marmalade


Combine all ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Serve over kabobs. Yield: 1 2/3 cups.
