Ingredients
- 1 package instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 can pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1 can mandarin oranges
- 1 can fruit cocktail
Instructions
-
Drain the Cans: Begin by opening all the cans. Drain the liquid from the mandarin oranges and fruit cocktail cans, but keep the juice from the pineapple chunks. This juice will add flavor and moisture to the salad. 🍍
-
Combine the Fruits: In a large serving bowl, gently combine the pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, and fruit cocktail. Make sure to mix them evenly to ensure a balanced flavor in every bite. 🍊
-
Add the Lemon Pudding Mix: Sprinkle the instant lemon pudding mix over the fruit. This step is crucial as it will act as a binder and add a delicious tangy flavor to the salad. Gently stir the pudding mix into the fruit, ensuring all the fruit is coated with the powder. 🍋
-
Mix in Pineapple Juice: Add the reserved pineapple juice to the fruit and pudding mixture. This will help blend the pudding mix and keep the salad moist. Stir everything together until well combined. 🍍
-
Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours, or overnight if you prefer. The chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the pudding mix to thicken, creating a deliciously creamy texture. ❄️
-
Enjoy: Once chilled, give the salad a final stir and serve. Enjoy this refreshing fruit salad as a light dessert or a fruity side dish at your next gathering. 🍽️
