How to Make Fru Fru Fruit Salad

  1. Cut one medium cantaloupe and one medium honeydew melon in half, then slice into wedges as you normally would to eat them.
  2. Remove the tough outer rind from the melon wedges and dice the flesh into approximately 1-inch pieces.
  3. Core two medium apples (such as Gala or Fuji) and two medium pears (such as Bartlett or Anjou). Dice into 1-inch pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine the diced melon, apple, and pear pieces.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl.
  7. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly with the dressing.
  8. Peel three ripe bananas and either slice them into the salad or tear them into bite-sized pieces by hand.
  9. Gently fold the bananas into the fruit salad.
  10. Taste and add more mayonnaise if desired for a creamier dressing.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. The salad tastes even better the next day!
  12. (Optional) Add 1/2 cup of cooked, chilled shrimp for a savory-sweet twist.
