5 Cup Salad

Reviews

• "What a great fruit salad! So light and refreshing. I made this exactly as you stated except I added a few green grapes just because I had some on hand and wanted to use them up. This is so easy to make. Something I plan on making many times over again. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely salad."

• "Recipe was quick and easy. It also tasted great. I used plain yogurt instead of cool whip and it still turned out. My kids loved it. "

• "Feel free to substitute fruit cocktail or other canned fruits of your choice for the pineapple."

• "A light, delicious way to serve canned fruit. I made ahead 1 day and it kept well in refrigerator. I did drain fruit and then drained again on paper towels. I added 1/8 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp. nutmeg to dressing. A brunch of 12 people rated it as very, very good - 5 star! I will make this again."

• "Very nice salad or dessert. Not really that high in calories considering it's so good it seems sinful. Thanks, next time I might make it with the tropical fruit cocktail - one can instead of two. Thanks Cindy Lynn!"

• "I made this yesterday for our Thanksgiving dinner and it was a huge hit. Everybody wanted the recipe. I love how simple it was and how light and fluffy it is, I could've eaten the whole bowl myself. I made this recipe x's 4 and there were no leftovers. Thanks for such an easy salad, I will be making it laso for Christmas."

• "This is the same recipe I got from a local restaurant, b/c I had to enjoy it at home. It is simply fantastic! I couldn't believe how simple it was--yet how yummy. I always made it with sour cream--no low fat subs.And also add marachino cherries. Its better the next day and continues to get creamy. Try it!"

• "Cindy, this is fantastic! I used the half cool whip and half sour cream and I'm glad I did. We really liked the sour cream taste in this. It was so easy to put together! It reminded us of ambrosia, but was a lot easier to make. Definitely a keeper!! Thanks!"

• "EXCELLANT ! I have made this before, I found the recipe in a issue of Paula Deen magazine. I have always made it with just the sour cream but decided to try the suggestion of half sour cream and half cool whip. MUCH better with half of each. I only got to sample this batch because dh requested this for a gathering at work tomorrow. I like to top it off with chopped pecans right before serving. I took pictures and will try to download tomorrow."

• "So quick and yummy! It is also good with fruit cocktail instead of pineapple; and if you're not a fan of coconut you can skip it and it still tastes great."

• "Great recipe! We have been buying this salad from our deli for awhile now. If you really want to add a great flavor, stir in 1 pkg. of french vanilla pudding mix to the cool whip/sour cream before adding your fruit. It also adds a little color helps make it prettier!"
