Fruit Salad with Ricotta Pineapple Sauce

By: JEN13212 
"This is my doctored up version of a diet ambrosia salad my mom always made. I admit that this sounds strange, but it really is sweet and refreshing on a hot summer day! (It's not as low-cal as hers.) It's also easy to adjust to your family's fruit preferences. Be sure to drain the fruit very well so the salad is not too soupy."

The ricotta remained grainy and gave this salad an odd texture.
