Deliciously Easy Fruit Salads
For Any Taste
By Camille Rhoades

If you are anything like me you spend half the year longing for all of the wonderful fruits that will fill your trees, farmers market, and grocery store each spring and summer. It is no wonder that fruit salad has become a standard at any summer potluck.

Fruit salad can be as easy as a few of your favorites fruits all sliced up and tossed in a bowl or as intricate as about anything else, but today I would like to share some crowd pleasing favorites that can be made without a lot of fuss.

Pistachio Fruit Salad

1 (20 ounce) can crushed unsweetened pineapple
1 (1 ounce) package instant sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
1 (15.25 ounce) can unsweetened fruit cocktail, drained
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges in light syrup, drained
1 cup reduced-fat whipped topping

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. In a bowl, whisk together reserved juice and pudding mix for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Stir in the pineapple, fruit cocktail and mandarin oranges. Fold in whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serves 6.

Cut up fruit in whatever combination and quantity you want. Recommended fruits in this salad are nectarines, peaches, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, apple, mangos, raspberries, and about anything else you like!

Cut them into small pieces and mix them in a bowl. Squeeze in juice of 1 lime (more if it is a very large batch) and add 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar. Mix it all in and enjoy!

*This recipe is very simple and ready to be made your own!

Snickers Caramel Apple Salad
Ok, so “salad” might be a reach with this one, but you will love it!

6 (2 1/4 ounce) Snickers candy bars, chill and chop
6 apples, cored and chopped into bite sized pieces (Granny Smith and/or Red Delicious)
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (5 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding or butterscotch pudding mix (dry mix – do not prepare!)
Garnish for extra flair
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping or caramel apple dip (optional)
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, can also sprinkled on top (optional)

1. Mix cool whip and dry pudding mix together.
2. Chop apples and chilled Snickers.
3. Mix together.
4. Heat caramel sauce a bit in the microwave- just enough to drizzle, not enough to heat up salad.
5. Drizzle caramel sauce over salad and sprinkle peanuts on top.
6. Chill for at least an hour-- Voila!

Serves 12.
