Fruit Cocktail Salad
"Convenient canned fruit and instant pudding mix streamline preparation of this refreshing medley," reports Karen Buhr from Gasport, New York. This shortcut salad can also be served as a sweet satisfying dessert for diabetics.

I won't be making this one again. It was not very tasty for a fancy holiday meal. I can see it being okay for a regular dinner, but with all the great fruit salad recipes out there, this one comes in toward the bottom of the list.
Easy, yummy and pretty good for you. The kids eat it up.
This was delicious! I was looking for a light, refreshing fruit salad that I could enjoy even when I don't have fresh fruit on hand. This filled that desire perfectly! I didn't have bananas, so obviously left them out, and I added about a cup of mini-marshmallows. My husband and 4 boys all loved it and between the 6 of us, we finished off the whole thing in one meal!
I have made this many times and lost the recipe. Thank heavens I found it again. It is easy, sweet, fresh, and cool for the summer! Thank-you for such a good idea!
