I'm not sure...
Sorry, I *THOUGHT* it was a PC recipe. One of my cluster-mates made it at our July meeting.
It's cool whip, key lime yougurt, lime zest, and lime juice. Served on top of watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, etc. OH, and toasted coconut! YUM!!!!!!!!!!
I'll post it if it turns out not to be PC.

When I did it in the triffle, I layered the fruits with the colors as far apart as I could (as in strawberries far away from watermelon, etc.). I also put a little of the dressing after each two layers, and served some on the side. The coconut was totally on the side.
