Number Of Ingredients 12

3 oranges, peeled with a knife (no white pith on them) & cut up
1 can(s) fruit coctail ,drained or canned peaches or pears will work, just whatever you have handy.
1 1/2 c red or green seedless grapes ( i use red for color)
1 1/2 c fresh (if possible) or canned (drained) pineapple chunks, cut up
2 apples cored & cut up (leave skin on)
4 large bananas, sliced up ( you can never get too much bananas in it)
2/3 c chopped pecans
THE DRESSING:
1 c real mayonnaise or miracle whip salad dressing
1 1/2 Tbsp prepared mustard
2 - 3 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

1. Cut up fruits into large bowl, in order given, so they don't brown on you.
2. In another smaller bowl, mix the dressing ingredients. Pour on fruits & toss to mix. May need more or less dressing. I never measure things. Put alot of dressing on it though. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
3. Right before serving, add the chopped pecans. You can either mix in or just garnish the top with them or both. If you put them in too early, they soften up & if you have any leftovers for the next day, they won't be crunchy.
4. Note: I usually serve this with the meal. That's when I eat it. You could also just serve it as a dessert though.
