What You Need

1/4

cup sesame seed

1/4

cup granulated sugar

container (16 oz.) BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

1/3

cup powdered sugar

Tbsp. KRAFT Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

red apples, chopped

bananas, sliced

cup PLANTERS Slivered Almonds, toasted

1/2

cup dried cranberries

1/4

cup fresh mint, chopped

Make It

COOK sesame seed in small skillet on medium heat 3 min. or until lightly toasted, stirring constantly. Add granulated sugar; cook and stir 2 min. until sugar is caramelized and evenly coats sesame seed. Remove from heat; spread onto sheet of foil sprayed with cooking spray. Cool completely. Crumble into smaller pieces.

MIX sour cream, powdered sugar and dressing in large bowl until well blended. Add apples, bananas, nuts and half the sesame seed; mix lightly.

TOP with cranberries, mint and remaining sesame seed.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation

Substitute 3 green apples for 3 of the red apples, and/or blueberries for the cranberries.

Shortcut

Purchase sesame seed candy bars, available in Latin markets, to use instead of the homemade crumbled glazed toasted sesame seed. Crush enough candy bars to measure 1/3 cup for use in this recipe.
