Fruit Salad

Source: AllRecipes.com

Fruit Salad

2 (20 oz) cans pineapple chunks, drained and juice reserved
4 apples (I used McIntosh or Gala), cored and diced
4 firm bananas, peeled and sliced
1 lb. strawberries
1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling
*Any other fresh fruit that you wish to add (grapes - cut in half, blueberries, peeled and separated clementines, etc)


1.In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples in reserved pineapple juice. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
2.In a large salad bowl, combine the pineapple chunks and diced strawberries.
3.Remove apples from pineapple juice and add to pineapple/strawberry mixture. Add chopped bananas to reserved pineapple juice and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
4.Remove bananas from pineapple juice and add to pineapple/strawberry/apple mixture.
5. Add pie filling and mix well. Chill and serve.

Makes about 16 servings.

*This recipe was awesome. The easiest and very yummy fruit salad. It was a big hit with my family, and will definitely be repeated many times. You can easily customize this recipe to whatever fresh fruit is available and what you're craving. I was hesitant to make it because of using the pie filling, but it added a nice "sauce" to the fruit salad without having to worry about taking it to a picnic and it wasn't overly sweet like I was afraid that it would be.
