Servings: 8 cups
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz. instant vanilla pudding
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate thawed
- 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 20 oz. canned pineapple chunks well drained
- 15 oz. canned sliced peaches well drained
- 15 oz. canned mandarin oranges well drained
- 1 Granny Smith apple cored and chopped
- 2 bananas peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding, milk, thawed orange juice concentrate, and vanilla Greek yogurt until smooth. Set aside.
- Combine the Fruits: In a larger bowl, mix the pineapple chunks, sliced peaches, mandarin oranges, chopped apple, and banana slices. Make sure the fruits are well combined.
- Mix Together: Pour the pudding mixture over the fruit and gently stir until all the fruit pieces are evenly coated. The mixture might look thick and lumpy at first, but keep mixing—it will thin out to the perfect consistency.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you prefer. This allows the flavors to meld together as well as make sure the salad gets good and cold.
- Serve: Before serving, give everything a good stir. Serve chilled.
Notes
This dessert salad is best served cold. If serving at a party or bbq/potluck, put the bowl inside an additional bowl filled with ice to keep cold.
