Categories Dessert

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) packages Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
1 quart buttermilk
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (28 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained
2 (14 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

With a wire whisk, combine and mix pudding and buttermilk; fold in the Cool Whip.
Fold in the fruits; add the nuts, and refrigerate.
The fruit salad keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.
You may try other fruits if you like such as cherries, pineapple, and coconut--they are also delicious.

Tips:

Choose ripe, fresh fruits for the best flavor and texture in your fruit salad. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have soft spots.
Wash and dry the fruits thoroughly before cutting them. This will help to prevent bacteria from spreading.
Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them to absorb the buttermilk dressing evenly.
Use a light hand when mixing the fruit salad. Over-mixing can cause the fruits to become bruised and mushy.
Chill the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.

Buttermilk fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing summertime treat. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a simple salad with just a few fruits or a more elaborate salad with a variety of fruits and toppings, there's a buttermilk fruit salad recipe out there for you.
