"I love to bring this salad to summer get togethers. The pudding makes it creamy and the blend of fruits are a tasty summer blend. You can't go wrong with this recipe! Time to make does not include the 1 hour chill time."

I used no sugar added fruit cocktail and oranges. I didn't have the cherries and used sugar free vanilla pudding. This was something different that we enjoyed. -
We like this very much! It goes very well with ham, other pork or chicken I think. It's pretty sweet, so it works well for dessert too. We'll be enjoying it with our Easter ham tomorrow. -
This recipe is wonderful. I used 1 can each fruit cocktail, peaches, and pears and a small can of mandarin oranges because that's what I had on hand. I added about 1 cup of whipped topping so that the fruit/pudding mixture wasn't so sweet. YUMMY!! Thanks Carrie!!

Greeting from South Bend, Indiana (home of Notre Dame and the Studebaker). My Grandmother got me interested in cooking at a young age. On my own, I would have cooked a lot more, but cooking for one was always such a hassle. Now that I am married, my husband enjoys the home-cooked dishes. Some hobbies of mine include: scrapbooking, photography and many activites outdoors (golfing, camping, hiking and beach volleyball), surfing the internet, and browsing through cookbooks of course!
