Any good apple fruit salad recipes?

I don't go by a recipe usually


Here is what I do


Chop or dice apples, 4-6 sweet crunchy


1 16 oz can of fruit coctail


1 16 oz can chunk or tidbit pinapple


shredded coconut, how much you use depends on how much you like coconut


1/ to 3/4 cup raisens


2-3 cups miniature marshmallows


1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans


Stir in 1 12 oz tup Cool Whip just before serving


Remember that most of the ingredients are optional and you can add or subtract as necessary. I have given approximate amounts of what I use. Also, to keep apples from turning soak in orange juice or pineapple juice after dicing/chopping for about 5 minutes. If you like jello you can put all ingredients in it, I use cherry.Any good apple fruit salad recipes?

You can spruce up the original recipe by adding raisins or mini marshmallows or both or even halved grapes.





My family loves this salad and eats it all up as much as I make. Good for a pot luck type dish too.
I like to just cut up any fruits I have in the house usually apples banana's and grapes toss with just a little lemon juice so they don't brown add some lightly heats almond slivers (heating them brings out there flavors) and chill for about an hour. My daughter likes to drizzle a little chocolate sauce over hers for dessert.
I like to grate an apple, with equal parts jicama. Add lemon juice to keep it from turning. Then add real mayo, raisens, shredded cheddar and chopped pecans or walnuts. I call it apple slaw.
