Fruit Salad

Change the ingredients to suit your tastes. Use more seasonal fruits when possible.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
• 8  ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1  granny smith apple
• 1  bunch red grapes
• 1⁄2 bunch green grape
• 1  banana
• 1  quart strawberry
• 2  ounces  almonds

Directions

1. Mix first 4 ingredients with a mixer until smooth.
2. Toast the almonds at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
3. Slice the apple into 8 slices and cut those pieces into thirds to get them the right size.
4. Quarter the strawberries and wash them with the grapes.
5. Slice the banana into bite size chunks.
6. Toss fruit and cooled almonds in a large bowl. Gently fold in the creme topping. Because there is lemon juice in it, the fruit will not brown for a few days.
7. Substitute ingredients to suit your tastes. Use blueberries when in season, or add some watermelon. Toast walnuts instead of almonds, or maybe add pecans! Perfect salad for a potluck.
