Fruit Salad (Yummy! Yummy!)

I'm reposting this recipe from last year at the same time, when summer is drawing near. This is an awesome recipe to welcome those warmer days ahead.

I love this fruit salad; but the Wiggles have cursed me. I can't make this dish without singing, "Fruit Salad, Yummy! Yummy!" when I'm in the kitchen. Oh, well. It could be worse, I guess. The thing about this salad that makes it so yummy is the delicious sauce made out of instant pudding and juice. Wowzy, Woo Woo!

Salad:

1 pint strawberries, halved
1 small bunch green grapes
2 bananas, sliced
3 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 green apple, cubed
1 pear, cubed
1 can mandarin oranges
1 can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve the juice for the sauce)

Sauce:

1 small pack of vanilla instant pudding mix
1 can of banana strawberry nectar (you can find this in the international section)
juice from the can of pineapple

Prepare sauce by combining all three ingredients and whisking them together. Toss fruit with the sauce, refrigerate for an hour, serve. By the way, you can add any fruit you like. I didn't include blueberries because they are often pretty expensive. If you find a good deal, toss them babies in there!!

YUMMY! YUMMY!

That was really good! I left out the pear and green apple and my store didn't carry banana strawberry nectar so I bought peach and it was fantastic!!

So glad you like it! I love the sauce that goes with it. Sometimes I make that and just toss together any fruit I have on hand. YUMMY

What a relief to find out that I am not crazy for saving my jars. I save spaghetti sauce jars, salsa jars, you name it. I save my jars for boys bug collecting, water for water color painting. I even saved a syrup jar that is cute enough to be a vase. My husband has used one of our pickle jars to collect the dirty oil from the car. He can then take it and dispose of it at an autoparts store.pass4sure 70-668
