How to Make Cool Fruit Salad With Light Sauce

  1. Chop 2 medium apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a large mixing bowl to prevent browning.
  2. Add 1 cup drained pineapple tidbits, 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments, and 1 cup seedless green grapes to the bowl.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (or regular pudding mix), 1/4 cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice from the can.
  4. Continue whisking until the pudding mix thickens slightly. Add 1-2 tablespoons more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl and gently toss to combine.
  6. Gently fold in 1/2 cup blueberries.
  7. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Best served chilled.
  8. Enjoy! This fruit salad will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator (if it lasts that long!).
