No matter how big the meal, folks always find room for this delightfully “special” dessert. With its hint of citrus and mint, this medley makes a light, pretty side dish at casual cookouts or potlucks. Best of all, it’s as fast and easy to make as it is to clean up! —Nancy Whitford, Edwards, New York
