24 Hour Fruit Salad image

This is a wonderful salad that is easily adaptable, and can be served as a salad with a holiday meal or as a dessert. The original recipe called for canned fruit cocktail, but I have modified it from that. I'm also allergic to pineapple, so I either pick it out or substitute more of the other fruits instead. All the fruits are really to taste. I could eat myself sick on this stuff, it is so good.

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 (3 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 3/4 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained DRY (very important)
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained DRY
1 cup green grape, halved
1 cup red grapes, halved
1/2 cup maraschino cherry
1/2 cup marshmallows

Steps:

  • The canned fruit needs to be completely dry, so recommend starting this 2 days in advance - draining the fruit overnight on the first day.
  • On the day before you need the salad, whip the cream. You can sweeten it with a bit of sugar if desired, but it's not needed.
  • Mix the pudding mix and milk together until thick.
  • Fold the whipped cream and pudding together.
  • Fold the fruits and marshmallows into the cream and pudding mixture.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
