FRUIT SALAD WITH MARSHMALLOWS
One year I was asked to bring a fruit salad to a family Christmas dinner. I found several fruit salad recipes, but none seemed really special for the holidays. I devised this recipe and everyone loved it. After that, I became the "official fruit salad person" for all family get-togethers.

7-CUP FRUIT SALAD
This is a recipe I have been making for years. My ex-mother-in-law gave it to me. It is easy to make and very good. A lot of time I leave out the fruit cocktail and add more of the other fruit and it is just as good.

MARSHMALLOW AND FRUIT SALAD
A unique, delicious fruit salad. It is always a hit and can be served year round, from Easter to Thanksgiving. It also goes great on angel food cake! The marshmallows soak up the juice and flavor and are so good! You can add seasonal fruit you have on hand! I usually chill in the fridge 30 min before serving to let the marshmallows soak up the juice!

Tips:
- Use fresh fruits. Fresh fruits are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned fruits.
- Choose fruits that are in season. Seasonal fruits are typically more affordable and have a better flavor.
- Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them absorb the dressing more evenly.
- Use a variety of fruits. This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture.
- Add some nuts or seeds for crunch. Nuts and seeds add a nice crunch to the salad and can also help to balance out the sweetness of the fruits.
- Use a light and refreshing dressing. A simple dressing made with citrus juice, honey, and olive oil is a good option.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help to keep the fruits crisp and the dressing cold.
Conclusion:
Six-Cup Marshmallow Fruit Salad is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Simply choose your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds, and then toss them with a light and refreshing dressing. Chill the salad before serving and enjoy!
