I first made this for a family reunion, and now it's always requested for our family gatherings. The sweet and tangy lemonade-pudding coating goes well with any fruit, so feel free to substitute your favorites. —Rhonda Eads, Jasper, Indiana

Yummy! This makes a wonderful glaze for the fruit salad, but makes a lot more than I needed for all the fruit.

I changed this a little because my Dad can't have the Kiwi or the Strawberries, so I added different color grapes & apples, my Family loves this for family get togethers!

You know your salad is a hit when you come home with an empty bowl! This one goes in the "keep" section!

Very nice! I used banana pudding instead of vanilla and used the fruit I had on hand....watermelon, strawberries, apple, canned peaches and mandarin oranges.

Great recipe! The vanilla pudding and lemonade dressing is nice twist. I used two different sized melon ballers to scoop out the melons for added visual interest.

Love the lemonade and vanilla pudding. Plan to use this at friend's party and also have pound cake on the side. Wonderful, great for summer and something different!

My Mom gave me this same recipe many, many years ago. The only difference is that instead of frozen lemonade concentrate, she used orange frozen concentrate. So try that too. It works just as well.
