This is my all-time favorite. It had awesome reviews on the website and I've made it 6-7 times since. So easy and I always end up with an empty bowl. Note- Do not ever substitute apricot pie filling. I did one time and boy did I regret it. Do feel free to add cantaloupe and grapes- I like the red/purple grapes for color.

This was my grandmother's recipe. All of her kids and grandkids and great grandkids love this fruit salad. It uses mostly canned fruits, but there's no reason why you can't put fresh fruits into it. The only real requirement is the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple to make the dressing. And I suppose you could use real pineapple juice - I've just never tried because I use the canned pineapple pieces in the salad.
FRUIT SALAD DRESSING
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
2 T. corn starch
2 T. lemon juice
juice from 1 large (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks
Combine and cook together above ingredients.
When cool, add 1/2 pint whipping cream - whipped (or 2 cups Cool Whip) and 1/4 # mini marshmallows (2 1/2 cups).
For salad, use pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, fresh red grapes, peaches or apricots, and pears. Drain fruit well. Mix with salad dressing. Add some chopped nuts when ready to serve. (If you add the nuts early, they turn the fruits dark.) Top each individual serving with a maraschino cherry.
This started off as a spinach salad with apples and grapes but the dressing was also so good with the fruit that I turned it into a fruit salad.
I would at least douple or triple this recipe:
录 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Then I mix with cored, peeled and sliced apples, strawberries, red or green grapes cut in 1/2, seedless watermelon cubed, blueberries, mango, banana slices, pineappple etc.... What ever you like and is avalaible.
I also made one here a while ago where I mixed some unsweetened coconut milk, whipped topping, and 1/2 yougurt cup plian or flavor of choice.
Then I just mixed in different fruit. I love a golden mango in this recipe though, and some kiwi also. Sprinkle in some plain or toasted want to and have it.
This recipe will serve more than 30 people and it's fun to make.

I have 2 fruit salad recipes my family loves.
1)
Combine canned (well drained), fresh and frozen fruit of your choice in a large bowl.
I use:
canned pears
canned peaches
canned apricots
canned mandarin oranges
canned maraschino cherried (without stems)
fresh pineapple (I use 1 whole pineapple for a large bowl)
fresh melon if in season
fresh strawberries
fresh bananas - make sure you let them rest in a bowl of lemon juice so they will not turn brown. :)
fresh grapes - usually 2 kinds - red and green (seedless)
fresh apricots - peeled and sliced
frozen cherries
frozen raspberries and other berries
But you can use any fruit - fresh, canned or frozen you want - just depends on wht is available in the season you are shopping in and your area of the country
You can also add coconut and sliced, toasted nuts. (almonds or pecans)
Then for a large bowl about 12-14 cups of fruit - I mix 2 large containers of Kool Whip with 8 oz of cream cheese and add a half bag of mini white marshmallows. Mix well and stir into fruit (drain extra juice before adding dressing) just reserve 1-1/2 cups of the dressing, stir the dressing well and then stir it thoroughly into the fruit just before you leave..Then top the bowl with reserved dressing and spread it around in little waves. :)
2)
Slice a even, flat piece off the bottom of the melon so it will sit flat. Cut top third off of a large water melon and scoop (preferably with a melon baller spoon) out - leave a good layer of pink on the rind though. Get seedless melon or pick out the seeds as well as you can.
Combine fresh fruit that is in season and some froz and canned if you don't have enough for 6-8 kinds of fruit. Make sure fruit is peeled and cored but you can use anything tht is in season. We use many of the same fruits as in the 1st recipe. Return all fruits to the hollowed out melon and stir so they are well mixed. Cantaloupe is good in this.
This can be served with NO dressing and people that are diabetic or on any kind of diet will appreciate that. But if you want it to be rich beyond compare lol then do this:
Combine 2 pints of real sourcream with 1 whole bag of min marshmallows, and stir well. Then stir into the fruit. Stir well again before serving.
You can cut jagged points in the edge of the melon to make it look more decorative and I have seen people cut out paper to resemble pigs' ears, eyes, nose and tail and attach. Very cute.
Good luck!
EASIEST EVER FRUIT SALAD
1-30 oz. can fruit cocktail, drained*
1-11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained*
1- 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, do not drain*
2 firm bananas, sliced approx. 1 in. thick, optional
1 box instant vanilla pudding *
Combine all ingredients, stirring until dry pudding moisture is fully incorporated into the fruit mixture. Salad will appear to be runny, but will thicken as the pudding absorbs the pineapple juice. Chill for at least 1/2 hour or overnight. Stir before serving.
If salad sits for longer than 4 hours before serving, I have found that it is best to add the optional sliced bananas just before serving, as they will brown slightly, however, it will only affect the appearance, not the flavor of the salad if the bananas darken.
Variations include adding other canned or fresh fruits, using another flavor of pudding mix, such as lemon, coconut, banana, etc. When my children were younger I would add marshmallows or shredded coconut, or even chopped nuts.
*Note: as a diabetic, I use fruit canned in juice instead of syrup, and sugar-free instant pudding. This does not compromise taste or quality. My family actually prefers it this way. When you serve this salad, you WILL get many compliments, and even recipe requests. Whether or not you feel guilty, because it was so easy is up to you - :o)
ENJOY!!!
I love to do a monochromatic fruit salad (all one color). Include stuff like halved green grapes; kiwi, green apples, those star fruit, if you can find a ripe one, super-thinly sliced celery (just a bit, for a surprise), and honeydew melon. Then make a sauce w/ 2-3 Tbsp of honey and 2-3 Tbsp lime juice; add a few leaves of minced mint to the sauce, then toss all fruit w/ sauce. Delicious and pretty.
Taffy Apple Salad
Take 6 granny smith apples. Wash a cut into small chunks.Drain a small can of crushed pineapple. In bowl, combine 8 oz. cream cheese softened, and jar of marshmallow cream. Add apple chunks %26amp; pineapple.Can stir in chopped walnuts, chill 2 hrs. Really good. One of my family favorites.Make sure to drain the pineapple, before adding cream mixture.
to WOW people you should buy watermelon and cut it out to look like a basket. then fill the hollowed out watermelon with both fresh and canned fruit and the liquids.
then decorate the watermelon basket with sliced fruits and flowers - stick toothpicks in them to keep them on the watermelon
My favorite is to pick out whatever fruit looks the best, mix with greek yogurt and honey. Simple but very delicious and better than adding a bunch of sugar to fruit.
My fav fruit to include: apples, cherries, mandarins, cantaloupe
