Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If frozen fruit is being used, thaw it completely.
- Make sure the pudding is completely cool before folding in the fruit. Otherwise, the fruit will heat up the pudding and cause it to thin out.
- Garnish the salad with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a cherry on top for an extra special touch.
- For a lighter version of the salad, use low-fat or fat-free Cool Whip and pudding mix.
- The salad can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated. Just be sure to cover it tightly so the fruit doesn't brown.

Freda's Cherry Supreme Salad is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
