NOTESĬopy Vanilla Pudding & Cool Whip Fruit Saladġ- 8 oz. Add bananas and blueberries to mixture right before serving. In a large bowl combine pineapple, strawberries and oranges. of the reserved liquid, whisking until mixture is smooth. The great thing about this recipe is that it's flexible, you can use all fresh fruit and just buy pineapple juice to mix with the pudding. First drain pineapple and oranges, reserving liquid. I even let mine sit for only 30 min and it was cold and still tasted good. Next throw in the marshmallows, mix and let sit in refrigerator unilateral needed. Same goes for your Grapes (which I sliced in half to make them go further) or Blueberries if you decide to go that route. Be sure to dice your Apple or Strawberries (I didn't even use a whole Apple in mine), then thinly slice your bananas by opening them 1 at a time and putting them in 1 at a time to gauge how much you will use. Second you add the cool whip to the JELLO pudding mix until combined, then you can start adding your fruit from the cans and see how quickly your bowl starts to fill up. Then you mix in the JELLO pudding and whisk until their are no more lumps. 1 cup fresh blueberries 1 (10-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained Steps to Make It Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving the juice in a 1-cup measuring cup. First you need to drain and retain 2 cups worth of the juices from the cans of fruit. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Fold in cool whip then add drained fruit and marshmallows and mix. In a large bowl, whisk together the ¾ cup juice and instant vanilla pudding for two minutes - will be thick. In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and reserved pineapple juice. Drain canned fruit (make sure to drain it well) into a bowl reserving ¾ cup of juice. Or just mix the dressing part first, which is how I did it. Add mandarin oranges, cherries, sliced bananas, pecans, sliced strawberries, and blueberries. As for the smaller bowl to mix the dressing ingredients maybe a 4-6 cup bowl to mix the other ingredients that make up the "Dressing part of the fruit Salad". You will want to get a fairly good size bowl (maybe a gallon size or little bit smaller) but the gallon size will make it easier to mix together.
