Cherry Fruit Dip

This dip is wonderful with any kind of cut-up fruit! Perfect for spring and summer get-togethers! I have also included a variation to make this dip low-calorie.

Cherry Fruit Dip
------------------
1 ¼ cups milk
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 container (8 oz.) cherry vanilla yogurt (can substitute another flavor if desired)
1 carton (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed
several drops red food coloring
fresh fruit, cut into pieces (such as apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, etc.)

In a bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk; mix well. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add yogurt; mix well. Fold in whipped topping. Add several drops red food coloring, stir very well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with cut up fruit for dipping. Store in the refrigerator.

*Tip: This recipe has also been made with sugar-free pudding mix, skim milk, light frozen whipped topping, and fat free yogurt with great results.
