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.

A grandkid pleaser for sure! Thanks for sharing, C
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. ❤️
Looks great Diane
Thank you Sheree!
Simple and delightful!
It’s so sad when the fresh fruit and veggies are done for the year. Thank you Dorothy.
I know! Right now, there seems to be everything from melons to strawberries, but they are going fast.
That sounds yummy and refreshing!
Thank you Tierney my favorite kind of salad. Lol
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.
Yum! Fruit salad has always been a favorite of mine.
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!
Whatever fruit I want? This is the most personalizable recipe I’ve ever seen. – and I just invented a new word! 😀
Yep whatever fruit you want, but sorry personalizable is a word I believe. 😳 Lol
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. 🙂
You know your mom is looking down at you and smiling for remembering all her delicious food!
Yes, she will know how much I paid attention and now I often think when reading your posts, just how lucky I was to have all those home-cooked goodies at my disposal.
😍
Thanks!
Ohh, that looks good, Diane. I am a big fan of fresh fruit. That looks so good.
Thank you for following my church blog at https://mysundayblog.com/
I looked it up and we’ve been following each other on my running blog since May, 2019. Even though comments go to my main running blog by default, I do keep track of all my Christian blog followers. Thanks again, and God bless. 🙂
Thank you Carl and where does the time go? God bless you too! ❤️
A refreshing and healthy salad 😉😋
Thank you! I would normally add sugar to my fruit salads but the fruit was so delicious and sweet I left it out.
What a marvelous idea. Perfect for summer, or any time of the year.
Awe thank you!
