How to Make Anytime Fruit Salad

  1. Wash and chop 2 cups of your favorite fruits (strawberries, blueberries, bananas, kiwi, etc.).
  2. Gently toss the chopped fruit in a medium-sized bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup of cold milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the fruit in the bowl.
  5. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
