Fruit Salad with Pudding

This fruit salad recipe is topped with a creamy vanilla pudding mixture that makes a refreshing dessert or side dish. I like to serve this fruit salad for parties, holidays and potlucks. But sometimes I make this fruit salad just for us - the kids will eat it as a snack or even breakfast!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

refrigeration time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Yield: 12-14 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in juice
• 1 cup sour cream (low-fat is okay)
• 1 3.4 oz. package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2-1/2 cups sliced red seedless grapes
• 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 10 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained well

Preparation:

1. Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving the juice in a 1-cup measuring cup. You will need 3/4 cup of the pineapple juice; discard any extra. If you don't have enough pineapple juice, add enough water to the juice to make 3/4 cup. Mix the pineapple juice, sour cream and instant vanilla pudding in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.


2. Place the pineapple chunks in the refrigerator.


3. Toss the grapes, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks together. Place the fruit salad in a tall glass or crystal serving bowl or tall glass serving dishes. Spoon the chilled pudding mixture over the fruit salad.
