Fruit Salad Recipe

Fruit salad is a very simple and quick summer side dish. It’s a go-to potluck choice for weekend barbecues, so you’re sure to put this recipe to good use in the warmer months. Try it for your Memorial Day parties, graduation get-togethers, Fourth of July celebrations, and Labor Day summer send-offs.

To make this salad, simply chop up some strawberries, bananas, pineapples, apples, and grapes. Add the juice of a lemon and some chopped pecans. Then mix a quick sauce with vanilla pudding mix. Then chill and serve. Easy peezy!

Substitutions for fruit salad

You can also substitute in your favorite fruits. Try kiwi or blueberries for example — either in addition to these ingredients or in lieu of some. You can also swap in different nuts if you don’t like (or have) pecans. Have fun with it.

If you prefer something fancier, try the marshmallow fruit salad by LittleBitRecipes.
