Cool Fruit Salad With Light Sauce image

Fresh, cool versatile ... all are ways I'd describe this salad. The dressing is light and not overwhelming. This is a very easy recipe to customize for your own family's likes & dislikes, as well as considering which fruits are in season for you. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are all great in this too. Sugar-free pudding works just as well if you prefer.

Time 20m

Yield 1 cup, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (2 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
2 apples, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2-2 cups blueberries
2 cups seedless grapes
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, in its own juice (drain & reserve the juice!)
1/4 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples in 2 tablespoons lemon juice (Note: orange juice could also be used instead of lemon juice).
  • Add in the drained pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges and grapes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry pudding mix with 1/4 cup orange juice and the liquid you had drained from the can of pineapple. Using a wire whisk, mix it until it starts to thicken. If it seems too thick, thin it with a little more orange juice.
  • Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to mix well.
  • Fold in the blueberries last (and gently).
  • Chill until ready to serve. This keeps 3-4 days if it lasts that long!
