Directions

1 Drain pineapple, reserving juice in small bowl. Pat pineapple dry with paper towels to remove any excess liquid. Toss banana slices in pineapple liquid; drain well, discarding liquid. Reserve 18 to 20 strawberries for flag stripes; cut remaining strawberries into quarters.
2 In medium bowl, mix yogurt, whipped topping and powdered sugar until well blended and smooth.
3 In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, layer cantaloupe and quartered strawberries. Reserve 50 blueberries for flag stars. Layer remaining blueberries over strawberries. Top with bananas, pineapple and marshmallows. With pancake turner, press fruit lightly to even out top. Spread yogurt mixture evenly over fruit. If desired, at this point, salad can be covered and refrigerated up to 4 hours.
4 If serving salad immediately, add topping; if salad is refrigerated, add topping up to 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle reserved blueberries in corner to resemble stars of flag. Cut reserved strawberries into quarters. Arrange strawberries in rows to resemble stripes of flag.

The Best! Super easy and it DISAPPEARED so fast! Loved the yogurt/whipped topping combo. Make sure you dry off the fruits enough before adding them. I got soooo many compliments on this. Can't get over how simple yet delicious this was. Trust me, you HAVE to try it!!

Excellent easy recipe. People were surprised that there was no cake at the bottom of the flag.I had some extra kiwi and used them in the recipe also. Just be careful, the recipe really fills the pan and I had to be careful when transporting it to our July 4th party. Also, make sure to have a cool place to display it due to the yogurt in the topping. I took it to a picnic and had to have a plate of ice to keep it cool when it came time for dessert. I plan to make this again this week for a friend's birthday. She loves fruit and would much prefer to have this over a standard birthday cake.
