Variations & Tips
Fruit combinations: Try mandarin oranges, sliced bananas, kiwi, or raspberries. If using bananas, add them just before serving to prevent browning.
Extra texture: Stir in ¼ cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts for a little crunch.
Make ahead: Prepare up to 4 hours in advance and keep refrigerated. If using juicy fruits like pineapple, drain them well before adding to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Dairy-free: Use a dairy-free whipped topping to keep it dairy-free.
This fluffy fruit salad is a simple, nostalgic addition to any holiday table—kids and adults alike will reach for seconds.
