Fruity Pineapple Boats with Creamy Lemon Dip

by Kendeyl Johansen
A healthy Hawaiian treat!

1 whole pineapple
1 cup honeydew melon, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 cup strawberries, cored and sliced in half
1 package (4 ounces) lite cream cheese, softened
½ a container marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
directions
To make pineapple boats: Cut the pineapple (including the crown) into quarters. Cut the fruit away from the rind, leaving a half-inch outer layer. Cut pineapple fruit into bite-sized pieces. Measure out 1 cup pineapple chunks and set aside. Cover and refrigerate remaining pineapple for other recipes.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, marshmallow cream and lemon juice. Beat with an electric mixer beat until smooth. Spread creamy mixture onto pineapple boats. Top with fruit.

suggestions
Other fruits, such as kiwi, cantaloupe and raspberries, work well in this salad.
