How to Make Absolutely Delicious Fruit Salad

  1. Measure 1 1/2 cups of reserved fruit juice (from the fruit you'll be using).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the following fruits: 2 cups strawberries (sliced), 2 cups blueberries, 2 cups raspberries, 1 cup mandarin oranges (segments), 1 cup kiwi (sliced), and 2 ripe bananas (sliced).
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and the 1 1/2 cups of reserved fruit juice.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  6. Gently pour the cooled pudding over the prepared fruit in the large bowl, making sure to coat all the pieces.
  7. Gently fold in the sliced bananas.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit salad to chill completely. Serve chilled and enjoy!
