Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Fruits
- 1 large apple, washed, cored, and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 lb. strawberries, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pint blueberries, washed
- 2 cups grapes, washed and halved if large
Canned Fruits
- 15 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained
- 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve juice)
Liquids and Dressing
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice
- 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare citrus base: Pour ¼ cup lemon juice into the bottom of a large mixing bowl to create an acidic base that prevents fruit browning.
- Prepare apple: Wash and core the apple, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the lemon juice.
- Prepare bananas: Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to the bowl. Toss bananas and apples in the lemon juice to coat evenly and prevent browning.
- Add berries and grapes: Wash strawberries, blueberries, and grapes. Add blueberries directly to the bowl. Cut strawberries into bite-sized pieces and add. Halve grapes if large, then add them as well.
- Add canned fruit: Drain pineapple tidbits but reserve the juice. Add ¼ cup of the reserved pineapple juice along with the pineapple bits and drained mandarin oranges to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all fruits.
- Add dressing: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the fruit mixture. Toss everything carefully to coat the fruit with the creamy dressing. If desired, add a bit more pineapple juice to thin the dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and chill the fruit salad until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Adding lemon juice prevents bananas and apples from browning and keeps the salad vibrant.
- Chilling the salad helps the flavors blend beautifully.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, use evaporated milk mixed with a bit of sugar as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk.
- Adjust pineapple juice quantity to reach desired dressing consistency.
