Default Fruit Salad

Here are two that I use--

Fruit Salad--with pie filling
Start with 1 can of apricot pie filling, add sliced bananas, drained canned pineapple, drained canned oranges, fresh chopped cored apples, nuts. (Really any fruit you have on hand--I used grapes, pears, peaches, etc.) I add something red like cherries for color. Always start with the apricot pie filling and add what ever fruit you have -- let your imagination and taste determine what fruit you add--however frozen blueberries and blackberries turn the salad very dark. It will still taste good--just has an off color. (you can use the sugar free pie filling with this)

Fresh Fruit Salad

Again start with fruit you have on hand--something soft (bananas) crunchy (apples or pears with the peel) color (cherries, blueberries), taste (peaches) etc. The binder is 3 tablespoons of frozen orange juice (don't add the water that is called for on the can). You don't have to add sugar.

Both of these are easy and healthy.
Enjoy.
