Recipe Introduction
Bonnie Witt, Topeka, KS, wrote that she's noticed I'm a fan of Diet Mountain Dew and wanted me to "reform" her all-time favorite fruit salad featuring regular "Dew". All I can say, is that if you're not a fan of Diet Dew yet, you will be after one bite of this!
Serves 8
List of Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
