This fruit salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party, and it was still perfect the next day.

This fruit salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had a bunch of grapes, strawberries, and blueberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them all together with some gelatin and voila! A delicious and refreshing fruit salad.

This fruit salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This fruit salad was a disappointment. The gelatin was too thick and rubbery, and the fruit was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
