This recipe isn't titled 4th of July anything however, in my personal oppinion no picnic or family gathering is complete without a fruit salad. My grandmother makes this for family gatherings and it goes very quickly.
When i make it, i modify it a bit because i add apples and grapes. Sometimes i get really craving fruits and add blueberries and strawberries as well.

Grandma's Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

1 can fruit cocktail
1 can crushed pineapple
3 1/2 oz. box vanilla instant pudding
1 can mandarin oranges
1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip
1 c. colored marshmallows
2 bananas

Directions:

Mix fruit, cocktail and pineapple with the juices. Then mix in the pudding and let thicken for 10 minutes. Drain oranges and add, then add Cool Whip and marshmallows. Chill 2 hours and add bananas before serving.

That's it for today, tomorrow's another day. Another day means another recipe. Have a good night and I'll post again tomorrow.
