I need an easy fruit salad recipe. anyone have one ?

Answer 1

EASIEST EVER FRUIT SALAD

1-30 oz. can fruit cocktail, drained*
1-11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained*
1- 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, do not drain*
2 firm bananas, sliced approx. 1 in. thick, optional
1 box instant vanilla pudding *


Combine all ingredients, stirring until dry pudding moisture is fully incorporated into the fruit mixture. Salad will appear to be runny, but will thicken as the pudding absorbs the pineapple juice. Chill for at least 1/2 hour or overnight. Stir before serving.
If salad sits for longer than 4 hours before serving, I have found that it is best to add the optional sliced bananas just before serving, as they will brown slightly, however, it will only affect the appearance, not the flavor of the salad if the bananas darken.

Variations include adding other canned or fresh fruits, using another flavor of pudding mix, such as lemon, coconut, banana, etc. When my children were younger I would add marshmallows or shredded coconut, or even chopped nuts.
