Nutritional Information (Per Serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit: In a large bowl, combine the can of mandarin oranges (including the juice) and the can of crushed pineapple (including the juice). These juices will help create a luscious, fruity base for your salad.
2. Add the Banana: Slice the banana into thin, even slices and add them to the bowl. Bananas add a lovely, creamy texture and a hint of sweetness.
3. Mix in the Pudding: Sprinkle the package of fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix over the fruit. This mix will absorb the juices and transform into a creamy, delightful coating for the fruit.
4. Combine and Stir: Gently mix all the ingredients together until the pudding mix is fully incorporated and the fruit is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the fruit as you stir.
5. Top with Coconut: Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top of the salad. The coconut adds a wonderful texture and a hint of tropical flavor that complements the fruit beautifully.
6. Chill and Serve: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer in every bite!
