• Yields: 4

Ingredients

• 1  fresh pineapple, cut in half lengthwise
• 2  medium bananas, sliced
• 0.5 (8 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
• 1⁄2 cup pecans
• 1  pineapple, (2 cups cut up)

Directions

1. Cut your pineapple in half, lengthwise, leaving green top in tack.
2. Scoop out the pineapple using a knife or melon baller and place in a large bowl. (approximately 2 cups).
3. Add sliced bananas, maraschino cherries and pecans to the bowl. You can also add grapes, mandarin oranges or other fruit, as desired. It's all good.
4. Add any fruit sauce you desire. Sometimes I use vanilla yogurt if I have it on hand, although this salad is naturally good without anything added.
5. Add the mixed fruit back into the cleaned out pineapple to serve. Makes a pretty, impressive container for serving.
