Fruit Salad-in jars to go

Need something quick but tasty to take to a BBQ or picnic, who doesn’t like fruit salad? Most people love a good fruit salad and what a great way to take it to a party in individual portions. Just fill half pint or pint size jars put the lids on and toss in a cooler and you’re ready to party. I have an easy sauce for your fruit salad, I like to use equal parts flavored yogurt and whip cream or cool-whip which ever you have.  For a small salad like the one in the picture I used 4 oz. of each.  I use whatever fruit I have, sometimes the frozen variety and sometimes not.
