Directions:
Directions:
The first thing I do is open all the canned fruit and drain into a strainer. Let the fruit sit for a few minutes while you prepare the pudding so most of the juice is strained out. This will help with not making your salad soggy.


Mix together fruit except for bananas.
Prepare the pudding** and fold in Cool Whip.
Fold in marshmallows.
Slice bananas and fold in last.

Variations:
The recipe calls for Vanilla pudding, but I like to mix it up and either use Cheesecake or White Chocolate pudding for a little richer salad. I also like to add some apples and both green and red grapes to add more color.....be creative and enjoy!
