SHAMROCK SALAD
A diabetic recipe I found on the dLife web site. Change the flavor of jello and cookie cutter you use and you have a Valentine, Halloween or a Christmas salad. I can even see this used for a baby shower and use a baby bottle cookie cutter. Use your imagination for the celebration you want to use it for.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe fruit. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
- If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use lime juice or white vinegar instead.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to add the whipped topping just before serving.
- If you want a lighter salad, you can use low-fat or nonfat whipped topping.
- For a more festive presentation, serve the salad in individual parfait glasses or champagne flutes.
