FRUIT SALAD (COMBINATION OF FRESH, CANNED, AND FROZEN FRUITS)



Fruit Salad (Combination of Fresh, Canned, and Frozen Fruits) image

This is a delightful fruit salad that always draws rave reviews anytime I fix it at home or take it to showers or carry-ins. The "secret ingredient" is a box of instant French Vanilla pudding! You really can substitute fresh fruits for canned or frozen or visa versa, so I'm going to list the combination that I usually use. Any time I use canned fruits, I use them in their own juice, and you can substitute sugar free pudding as well.
