We enjoyed this fruit salad and it was super easy to put together! I am not a big fan of bananas so I used less than five. I made it to serve with dinner and I had some for breakfast the next day. This is a great salad to make in the winter when fresh fruit is scarce. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2007. -
This is delicious! I prepared as directed and to quote R. Ray "How easy is this! I will add more bananas next time, because they are my favorite fruit in this dish. I served this with a dollop of whipped topping. I think it would be great over a slice of angel food cake or pound cake. This would be an ideal dish to take to a potluck or large gathering, if you had a way to keep it chilled. This is really a keeper! Thanks CaramelPie! -
Wonderful! I really enjoyed the flavour in this dish! Next time I will cut back some of the liquid a bit as I felt it might be that much nicer if it was a bit "drier". I used fat free vanilla pudding and I don't feel that it detracted from it at all. I cut my bananas a bit thick and I think that was a good thing. They tended to still manage to maintain their shape. If they were thinner, I think they would have just turned to mush. I can't wait to bring this to a family reunion this summer!! Thanks so much for posting this! -
What a lovely fruit dish and so simple to prepare. This is great to served as a side dish with ham, pork or really any meat. Also I like the idea of using it for a topping for cake. Many uses for this dish and I can't wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing, CaramelPie.

I'm a stay-at-home mom, school volunteer, church volunteer, etc., and I live in Middle Tennessee. I like to read, visit the mountains, crochet, cook, etc. My favorite cookbook at this time is Recipe Hall of Fame Quick & Easy Cookbook. My passions are raising children with good moral character, being a good Christian, and food! My pet peeves are recipe instructions that leave out what to do with one of the ingredients, and people who won't put their shopping carts in the cart corrals! I have twin daughters who are in their second year of college and a son who is 16. My girls' college is close enough that I can come by every couple of weeks or so. When I tell them I'm coming, they ask Are you bearing baked goods?. Usually, I am, to the excitement of their suitemates!
