Provided by mrsteacher22

Categories     Apple

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange sections, drained
8 ounces seedless grapes, halved
12 ounces apples, sliced
12 ounces mixed berries
1 cup miniature marshmallow
1 (4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
8 ounces Cool Whip

  • Mix pudding and pineapple juice together, then add cool whip.
  • Throw together fruit in a large bowl.
  • Add marshmallows.
  • Mix in pudding mixture.
  • Add 2 tablespoons chopped pecans if wanted.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh fruit: The better the quality of the fruit, the better your salad will taste. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the fruit to absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Use a variety of fruits: The more variety, the more flavorful your salad will be. Try to include a mix of sweet, tart, and juicy fruits.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
