Directions

Notes
- This salad is best if eaten as soon as it is ready.

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!
