Pineapple (throwback to the 80's) cocktail party dip

Ok, I’m having fun with the title, but this Pineapple Dip is perfect for any occasion, especially when kids are involved. When the kids in my family were young, of course my Mom made this with Cool Whip and we thought it was heaven. Do they even still make Cool Whip? Gosh please don’t use that!

The take a way is, you can turn almost any dish healthier, when you use real food ingredients. This essentially takes four ingredients and voilá, you have something perfectly sweet, creamy and kid friendly.

I serve with gluten free crackers, but would pair nicely with graham crackers or pretzels. Always choose organic when possible and if your really want to go all out, you can use a fresh pineapple instead of canned.

Entertaining has never been easier!
