Description

A quick and refreshing fruit salad made with pineapple, mandarin oranges, bananas, and vanilla pudding for a creamy, sweet finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 fresh pineapple, cored and cut into chunks
  • 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges in light syrup (do not drain)
  • 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 box (4 serving size) sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix

Instructions

1. Keep the mandarin oranges in their syrup; do not drain.

2. Chop the pineapple and bananas into chunks.

3. In a large bowl, combine all the fruit.

4. Evenly sprinkle the dry vanilla pudding mix over the fruit without mixing it with milk.

5. Stir the mixture thoroughly until evenly coated.

6. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.


Notes

Do not prepare the pudding mix with milk; it is used dry.

Best served chilled after resting to allow flavors to blend.

Each serving is approximately one cup.

Bananas are best added shortly before serving to reduce browning.
