This is wonderful. It is so refreshing and a welcome side dish to many casseroles. However, if you want to keep it in the refrigerator for several days (or longer), just add the banana slices as you serve it. This works great and the bananas are always fresh. I make 6 week refrigerator muffins and eat this with them for breakfast!

Really delicious. I used this as a fruit salad in a Zaar World Tour3 menu but I made it for dessert tonight. It's on the sweet side alright but it sure is good. I used chopped fresh orange in place of the canned mandarin's as well as fresh strawberries. It's one of those deadly things that keeps calling you back for just one more spoonful. This just couldn't be any easier and was a real hit with the men folk. Thanks mama for another winner.
