1 package (makes 4 servings) instant pudding mix (lemon or vanilla)
1 ¾ cups cold nonfat or 1% milk
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- For fresh fruit: Rinse fruit and cut into bite-sized pieces, if needed. For canned fruit: Drain fruit and cut into bite-sized pieces, if needed. For frozen fruit: thaw, drain and cut into bite-sized pieces, if needed.
- In a medium bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk. Add the fruit and stir gently. Refrigerate for 5 minutes before serving.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- This salad is best if eaten as soon as it is ready.
- Use any fruit, such as apples, bananas, berries, grapes, oranges or pineapple. Try a mixture.
- Young children can choke on whole grapes; cut grapes in half or smaller to reduce the chance of choking.
- No fresh milk? Mix ½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons dry milk powder with enough cold water to make 1 ¾ cups of milk.

Comments
This is very sweet. I think you could used more fruit for this amount of pudding. I used cut grapes, apples, canned pineapple and canned mandarin oranges. If using non-diary milk, use less than 1 3/4 cup to make the pudding thicken.
Kids love this recipe. I let them choose which types of fruit is in season, and which canned fruit we will use!
Fruit salad is my favorite brunch dish which I never get bored of. But I want to ask can I ask pomegranate seeds to this recepie of yours?
You can use any mix of fruit with this recipe which is great for using what you already have on hand.

I use one 6 oz. container of lowfat yogurt instead of the pudding. It is a fresh changed and the Vanilla yogurt blends all the wonderful fruit flavors together without over powering them. Delicious!
