Directions
1. Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained fruit cocktail, crushed pineapple, and cherry pie filling. Gently stir to blend the flavors and colors without breaking the fruit apart.
2. Add Bananas
Just before serving, fold in the sliced bananas. This ensures they stay fresh and don’t brown too quickly.
3. Customize (Optional)
Feeling extra? Stir in a handful of mini marshmallows or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a fun texture and added sweetness.
4. Chill to Perfection
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle and the salad to chill.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Serve cold, straight from the fridge. For an extra indulgent touch, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream.
Pro Tips
Banana Freshness: Toss banana slices in a little lemon or pineapple juice to prevent browning.
Make It Your Own: Add fresh strawberries, blueberries, or mandarin orange segments for even more fruity goodness.
