Time 1h15m

Yield 1 8x8 pan

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (1 lb) can fruit salad, very well drained, and cut (the larger kind for salads)
1 (9 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 medium apple, peeled and diced
1 -1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped pecans (can use more)
1 cup cool whip frozen whipped topping, thawed (I prefer Cool Whip) or 1 cup whipped cream (I prefer Cool Whip)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Hellman's is best for this)

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine fruits, marshmallows and pecans.
Fold in the Cool Whip topping and the mayonnaise into the fruit; toss lightly to combine well.
Transfer the mixture to a 8x8-inch dish.
Chill in the freezer for about 1 hour (NOT until solid).
Cut into squares.
*note* make sure that the canned fruit is VERY well drained, I like to pat off any excess moisture with a paper towel.
Also, if you plan to double this recipe, prepare in TWO separate pans.

MARSHMALLOW FRUIT SALAD

Christine Mills relies on convenient cans of pineapple chunks, fruit cocktail and mandarin oranges to speed up this marshmallow fluff. The Buffalo, New York subscriber dresses up the salad a bit by stirring in the rich sour cream and chopped pecans for a pleasant crunch.
