Fruit 'n' Nut Salad image

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW created this recipe using leftover fruit from holiday baking. It tasted so good that it became standard fare every time we had ham or turkey. It's a perfect side dish for those entrees. For color and a touch of sweetness, I sometimes add miniature marshmallows. -Willie Mae Philen, Mexia, Alabama

This salad is way too sweet for my taste. I would use less fruit next time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I used a light vinaigrette instead. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a bunch of fruit in my fridge that's about to go bad, so this salad is a lifesaver.
