Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 bananas, diced into ¼ inch pieces
  • 2 cups quartered strawberries
  • 1 apple, cored and diced
  • 2 cups blueberries (1 pint)

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • ½ cup walnut pieces
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Prep: Dice the bananas into ¼ inch pieces, quarter the strawberries, core and dice the apple, and gather walnut pieces, blueberries, and mini marshmallows.
  2. Mix Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced bananas, quartered strawberries, diced apple, and blueberries together with 2 teaspoons of sugar to gently sweeten the fruit.
  3. Add Nuts and Marshmallows: Fold in the walnut pieces and mini marshmallows carefully into the sugared fruit mixture to maintain the fluffy texture of the marshmallows.
  4. Serve: Spoon the fruit salad into serving bowls or a large dish, and top each serving with a generous dollop of Cool Whip and extra walnut pieces for added crunch and creaminess.

Notes

  • Use fresh and ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
  • For a nut-free option, omit walnuts or replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
  • To reduce sugar content, omit or reduce the added sugar as the fruits provide natural sweetness.
  • Serve chilled for a refreshing taste, perfect for warm weather.
