Seven Fruit Two Cup Salad
I call this my Seven Fruit Two Cup Salad because it has 2 cups of each kind of fruit and 2 cups of juice. Add whatever fruit you have in the house and don’t be afraid to use canned fruit, like I did, for even more variety.
Rinse and dice the fresh fruit into bite size pieces.
Drain any canned fruit and reserve the liquid.
Pour the canned juice into a measuring cup.
If there is not enough for 2 cups, add
orange juice to the 2 cup mark.
Pour the juice over the fruit and toss. Refrigerate for four
hours, tossing every hour. This will keep for a few days but
looks best when served in about four hours. I ate mine
for three days and the fruit was still firm and delicious.

Oh you know them well. I had my grandson here but my granddaughter was at home. Because I don’t play favorites I sent a bowl of it with my husband to drop off for my granddaughter. She was thrilled to say the least. Thank you Cheryl. ❤️

I love a good fruit cocktail salad! 🙂 Canned fruit is awesome and I love the juice, especially canned peaches! Enjoy this last burst of summer goodness.

Thank you and if someone wants more sweet taste they can use canned fruit in heavy syrup. The fruit this year was so sweet I didn’t use the heavy syrup like I usually do.

Me too Patty. Usually I make a sugar/juice to pour over the top but this time I didn’t use sugar because the fruit was so sweet this year. It was a great year for fruit. Thank you!

This I can handle. My mom used to make ambrosia salad which I loved. I made it since I’ve been alone and by the time I finished it all off, I didn’t want to see it for a long time. There is nothing nothing nicer than chilled fruit salad on a hot day.

We ate ambrosia salad all the time for dessert as a kid too. It is addicting!

I know. I love it. My mom used to make coleslaw, with just the cabbage and add marshmallows, pineapple tidbits and some type of sweet salad dressing. It reminded me a little of ambrosia salad, though not as sweet and not for dessert. I am easy to please. 🙂
