Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
  • 1 cup strawberries (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 cup grapes (fresh, halved)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Drain any canned fruit well and chop larger fresh fruits like strawberries and grapes into bite-sized pieces for even flavor distribution.
  2. Whip the pudding and cream: In a large bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding with cold milk if using the mix method, or fold in the whipped topping to create a fluffy creamy base.
  3. Combine ingredients gently: Fold the prepared fruits and mini marshmallows carefully into the creamy base, making sure everything is evenly coated without crushing the fruit.
  4. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and achieve the ideal fluffy texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh fruit when possible for better flavor and texture.
  • Drain canned fruit thoroughly to avoid watery salad.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep fruit and marshmallows intact.
  • Chill well before serving for best taste and texture.
  • Customize with different fruits or toppings like granola or shredded coconut as desired.
