Ingredients

• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 large apple
• 2 bananas
• 1 lb. strawberries
• 1 pint blueberries
• 2 cups grapes
• 15 oz. can mandarin oranges
• 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits
• 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

1. Step 1: Pour the lemon juice into the bottom of a large mixing bowl.
2. Step 2: Wash and core the apple, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
3. Step 3: Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to the bowl. Toss the bananas and apples in the lemon juice to coat and prevent browning.
4. Step 4: Wash the grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. Add the blueberries to the bowl. Cut the strawberries into bite-sized pieces and add them as well. If the grapes are large, cut them in half before adding.
5. Step 5: Drain the pineapple tidbits, reserving the juice. Add ¼ cup of the pineapple juice along with the pineapple pieces to the bowl. Also, drain the mandarin oranges and add them to the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
6. Step 6: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the fruit and toss gently to coat. If the dressing is too thick, add more pineapple juice to thin it out to your desired consistency.
7. Step 7: Cover the bowl and chill the fruit salad until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

• Use a mix of your favorite seasonal fruits or frozen berries for a year-round version.
• To keep bananas from browning longer, toss them quickly in lemon juice before adding.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans on top just before serving.
• Swap sweetened condensed milk for coconut milk for a dairy-free twist.

Storage

Store the fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fruit may release more juice over time, so stir before serving. This salad is best enjoyed fresh as bananas and apples may brown slightly after prolonged storage. Refrain from freezing as the texture will change.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare the salad a day in advance?

Yes, you can prepare it a day ahead, but be aware that bananas and apples may brown and the salad might become a bit watery. Preparing just before serving gives the best texture and flavor.

Can I use other fruits instead?

Absolutely! This salad is very flexible. Fruits like kiwi, mango, or peaches make great additions or substitutions depending on your preference and season.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Fruit

• 1 large apple, washed, cored, and chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
• 1 lb. strawberries, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 pint blueberries, washed
• 2 cups grapes, washed and halved if large
• 15 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained
• 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve juice)

Dressing

• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ cup pineapple juice (reserved from pineapple can)
• 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

1. Prepare lemon juice base: Pour the lemon juice into the bottom of a large mixing bowl to create a base that will help prevent the fruit from browning.
2. Prepare apple: Wash and core the apple, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped apple to the bowl with the lemon juice.
3. Add bananas: Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to the bowl. Toss the apples and bananas gently in the lemon juice to coat them evenly and prevent browning.
4. Prepare berries and grapes: Wash the grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. Add the blueberries to the bowl. Cut the strawberries into bite-sized pieces and add them. If grapes are large, cut them in half before adding; otherwise, add whole.
5. Add pineapple and oranges: Drain the pineapple tidbits but reserve the juice. Add ¼ cup of the reserved pineapple juice and the pineapple tidbits to the bowl along with the drained mandarin oranges. Stir the fruit mixture gently to combine all ingredients.
6. Add condensed milk dressing: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat all fruit pieces evenly. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more reserved pineapple juice to thin it out to your desired consistency.
7. Chill and serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld and keeps the fruit fresh.

Notes

• For best results, prepare the salad shortly before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
• You can substitute or add other fruits like kiwi or peaches based on preference.
• If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly.
