Potluck Fruit Salad



Hello again, reader friends! I hope this post finds you well!

After my last post where I said my kiddos weren't as eager to help in the kitchen, my youngest could hardly wait to help me with this recipe! 😄🤷 Maybe it was because I pulled out a pudding mix and the mixer. In my defense, I did say they weren't as eager! I guess it depends on what other interesting things are happening or what is being whipped up. Either way, I welcomed the help and company of both my children while we put together this fruit salad.

On a side note, I really had a hard time figuring out what to call this. I started out just wanting to make a basic grape salad after a friend posted a recipe for one the other day and set off a craving. True to form, I just couldn't leave well enough alone. I just had to mix it up-- pun intended. Snicker...Anyway, this recipe was loved by both children and me. It would be a perfect dish for a potluck or backyard BBQ. We hope you enjoy it!

Potluck Fruit Salad
1 c marshmallow fluff
1 (8oz.) block cream cheese
1 c sour cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 small box instant French Vanilla pudding mix
2 lbs. white grapes washed and halved
2 lbs. apples peeled, diced, soaked in Sprite or
           lemon water and drained.
1 lb.   strawberries washed, cored, and sliced into
           bite-sized pieces
1 c chopped pecans or walnuts

Using a hand-held mixer, mix the first five ingredients. To this, add all the prepared fruit. Stir well with a spoon. Let the salad stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. If not serving right away, store the salad in the refrigerator. Add nuts when ready to serve.


Ah...it looks so much prettier served up in a nice bowl.


Thank you for visiting with me today!

Until we meet again, may you be blessed!
