Holiday Fruit Salad (Aka Green Stuff)

"We always make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas...it is a must have holiday menu item. You can substitute a container of Cool Whip for the freshly whipped cream. You could try other Jell-o flavors, but we are traditionalists and stick with lime. Some family members enjoy the addition of chopped pecans but I prefer without."

  1. Made this for a holiday potluck we attended & it was a big hit, probably for the nostalgia as much as anything ~ It certainly was for me! The only thing I changed was to add a bit more of both the pineapple & the grapes! I also left out the marshmallows, but then they were optional anyway! My mom used to make something similar to this during the holidays, & I thoroughly enjoyed it this time as much as I did way, way back then! Thanks so much for posting it!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
