Prep: 20 min., Chill: 2 hrs. Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are packed with vitamin C, the antioxidant that helps boost the immune system, fight infection, and protect the body against influenza. Serve this refreshing dish after a meal for a light dessert, enjoy it as a snack, or try it for breakfast.

This recipe is delicious, nice blend of flavors. Especially nice with the mint sauce. My dad dislikes yogurt and he loved the sauce to his surprise. I would probably try the kitchen express version next time when I have alot to prepare, as when made with fresh fruit takes a bit more time than expected. Very good for a morning treat!12/30/07
