I made this last week and shared it with some family members and we all agreed it was very good. It is on the sweet side but it’s also a dessert! Perfect for your summer gatherings!

This is the best, tastiest fruit salad I have ever eaten. Feel free to omit or swap the fruit. It is still delish!

Delicious! I've been making this since I saw it in Taste of Home magazine 15 or 20 years ago. It is by far my most requested dish for a family gatherings and potlucks. It really is just fruit salad with this amazing sauce, so it's different yet still something familiar. I always double the recipe & still come home with an empty bowl.

I honestly don't understand the good reviews on this. Just made it for a family gathering and no one cared for it.

Yummy............ I can't add apples ( my Daughter-in -Law is allergic ) so I add extra of the other fruits. I love the sauce w/the orange flavor.
