This is a perfect fruit salad to prepare all winter long! It's pretty enough to serve as a dessert, yet satisfying enough to enjoy as a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 quart mixed fresh fruit chunks (apples, bananas, oranges, pears)
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • Whipped topping, optional

Directions

  1. Drain pineapple and set juice and pineapple aside. In a saucepan, combine pudding mix and reserved pineapple juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and cool.
  2. Fold in fruit, nuts, coconut and reserved pineapple. Chill until serving. Garnish with whipped topping if desired.
