Description:
So easy and so deeelicious. This is great any time of the year. I am always asked for the recipe. This was in a church book. I prepare it for family reunions, in small cups. I place the cups in a tub of ice. The cook time is actually chill time. Perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or simply as a refreshing treat on a hot day.

Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients – pineapple, mandarin oranges, strawberries, bananas, and if desired, kiwis.
-
Cut and Combine: Start by draining the juice from the canned pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges. Slice the bananas and strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the kiwis if using.
-
Mix Well: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits. Gently toss them together to ensure an even distribution.
-
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld together and creates a refreshing, cool dessert.
-
Serve: Once chilled, give the fruit salad a final stir and serve it in individual cups or in a large bowl for a beautiful presentation. If serving outdoors, consider placing the bowl or cups in a tub of ice to keep it cool and fresh.
-
Storage: Any leftover fruit salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other flavors from the fridge.
