Prepare the Pudding: Begin by preparing the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix according to the package directions. Typically, this involves whisking the mix with cold milk until it thickens, then letting it set for a few minutes.
-
Fold in the Fruits: Once the pudding is ready, gently fold in the drained mandarin orange sections, sliced banana, halved maraschino cherries, and miniature marshmallows. Make sure to fold them in gently to avoid breaking the fruits and to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
-
Add Cool Whip: Next, gently fold in the fat-free cool whip until well combined. The cool whip adds a light and fluffy texture to the salad, complementing the fruits and pudding perfectly.
-
Chill: After all the ingredients are combined, cover the salad and chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator. Chilling helps to meld the flavors together and allows the salad to set properly.
-
Serve: Once chilled, serve the light and fluffy salad in lettuce cups for a refreshing presentation. The crisp lettuce leaves provide a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the salad, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.
