A basic fruit salad is just fruit of your choice cut up. Simple as that!


I think fresh berries are always a nice addition to any fruit salad.





You can get creative and add shredded coconut, yogurt, nuts, dried fruits, citrus juice, citrus zest, ginger, cinnamon.





You can also make a fruit salad with specific flavors -


Tropical - Mango, pineapple, papaya, coconut and pineapple juice


Citrus - Orange and grapefruit sections with the juices


Mixed berries





You can make a dressing -


1 cup low-fat plain yogurt


2 teaspoons honey


1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


1/4 teaspoon ginger


1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
1 can of mini pineapple chunks (light or heavy syrup, up to you....drained)


1 cup shredded coconut


1/2 cup chopped walnuts


1 can of fruit cocktail (drained)


1 can of mandarin (orange) slices (drained)


1 cup maraschino cherries (halved)


1 1/2 cups cool whip


1 1/2 cup of miniature marshmallows





Mix all ingredients together and put in the refrigerator for about an hour. Also you could take a lime or strawberry gelatin and prepare according to package, just half that time in the fridge. Jello will be solid, but not firm. Add the fruit, nut, marshmallow and coconut mixture to the jello and then mix with the cool whip, then let it sit in the fridge another 30 minutes. I'm telling you it's great, the fruity, nutty taste and jello with the cool whip is great and it also gives it a nice color. This is something that I ate all the time when I was pregnant, and my daughters love it. It's just another version of Ambrosia salad.
Orange Cream Fruit Salad


';This is a winner every time I make it. The orange flavor in the dressing is so refreshing.';





1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix


1 1/2 cups milk


1/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed


3/4 cup sour cream


1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained


1 (15 ounce) can sliced peaches, drained


1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments


2 bananas, sliced


1 apple - peeled, cored and sliced








DIRECTIONS


In a medium mixing bowl, combine pudding mix, milk, and orange juice concentrate. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Mix in sour cream.


In a large salad bowl, combine fruits. Gently mix in orange dressing. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.





Pistachio Fluff Fruit Salad


';This is a light and fluffy dessert salad based on pistachio pudding; the pudding is made lighter with the addition of whipped topping. Add an extra can of mandarin oranges, if you like.';





1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice


1 (3 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix


1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed


2 large bananas, sliced


2 cups miniature marshmallows


1 (15.25 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained


1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained





DIRECTIONS


Dump instant pudding into a large mixing bowl. Add pineapple, and mix well. Mix in nondairy whipped topping. Stir in bananas, marshmallows, fruit cocktail, and mandarin oranges. Cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Ok this is kind of sweet but you can cut the sweetness by mixing in some milk or the juice from the fruits with the sweetened condensed milk





1 can of mandarin oranges


1 can of peaches


1 can of pineapple chunks


1 can of fruit cocktail


1 large banana sliced


some fresh grapes


some jar cherries (optional)


fresh strawberries


fresh blueberries


drain all fruit and put in a bowl


then use one can of sweetened condensed milk and stir then refrigerate for a couple of hours. This is a hit everytime I make it at my house.
Make enough for a few days and keep it in the fridge.


Get grapes,eating apples,pineapple (you can buy this ready prepared fresh),mandarin oranges(tinned is ok), melon,and berries .Cut everything up into bite size pieces ie cut grapes in half etc.Add some fresh lemon juice which prevents the apples going brown.If you want it sweet, sprinkle some icing sugar lightly over it and blend into the juices.You can use the mandarin orange juice from tin if you like.

1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk


1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed

Frozen Cherry Dessert





Place in 11 x 15 inch pan and freeze. Cut in squares to serve.


Or freeze overnight or it may be served after refrigeration. Take out of the freezer about an hour before.
blueberries, bananas, strawberries, lemon juice, and honey for added sweetness


or


instead of lemon juice eat with milk or yogurt for a completely different taste and added calcium





congrats
