I'm allergic to gelatin. Is there a substitute I can use?

I found that the gelatin made the fruit salad too firm. I would recommend using less gelatin or omitting it altogether.

This fruit salad is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or omitting it altogether.

This fruit salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had a bunch of fruit that was about to go bad, so I threw it all in this salad and it turned out great!

My family loved this fruit salad! It was so refreshing and flavorful. The combination of fruits was perfect, and the gelatin held it all together nicely. I will definitely be making this again.
