1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh hulled strawberries or 1 pint raspberries
2 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
2 cups seeded watermelon, chunks
2 bananas, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
1 cup mandarin orange, drained (or use fresh oranges, chopped)

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 cup whipped cream, whipped
1/4-1/2 teaspoon lime zest

Steps:

In a bowl, toss the bananas slices in lemon juice to keep from browning.
In an extra large fancy glass bowl, in a layering effect, place the pineapple, blueberries, HALF of the strawberries, oranges, kiwi fruit, watermelon, and the remaining strawberries or raspberries.
In a mixer bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add in confectioners sugar, and continue beating.
Add in the lime juice; mix to combine.
Set the speed to lowest, and add in HALF of the whipped cream; mix until blended.
Then add in the remaining whipped cream until blended (still on lowest speed).
Pour the whipped dressing all over the fruit in the bowl, and allow to drizzle inside of bowl.
Chill for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large can fruit coctail, drained
1 large can cling peaches, drained and chopped in bite size pieces
1 large canned mandarin oranges, drained
1 large can crushed or tidbit or chunked pineapple, drained
1 jar(s) cordial cherries, drained
DUMP ALL ABOVE CANNED FRUIT IN COLLANDER AND PLACE IN LARGE BOWL. ADD THE FOLLOWING----
1 large container of frozen strawberries with its syrup juice
1/4 c dry sherry (you may add up to 1/3rd cup of sherry)

Steps:

1. I also enjoy adding a cup of fresh blueberries to this fruit salad for added color because your strawberries tend to turn some of the fruit reddish in hue. So what? You will be praised for such a delicious fruit salad dish. (Although this is versatile in that you may add most any fruit to this dish, I do not recommend adding coconut. It's simply too chewy for this salad. Also, I have never tried adding pecans, but it may be ok. Cool Whip in the squirt can is beautiful atop this salad. You will not go wrong serving this dish at your next big family function. Enjoy!
