Let’s dive into this delightful recipe, step by step, so you can create a dessert that’s guaranteed to steal the show at your next gathering!

🌸 Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what makes this fruit salad a true crowd-pleaser:

1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup strawberries, sliced
2 bananas, sliced
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (dry mix only—don’t make the pudding)
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
½ cup shredded sweetened coconut (optional but heavenly!)
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for that irresistible crunch)

🥣 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit Base

Start by draining your canned pineapple and mandarin oranges very well—too much juice can make your salad watery. Place them into a large mixing bowl along with your sliced strawberries and bananas. Gently toss them together to distribute evenly.

Tip: If you’re making this ahead of time, add the bananas last (just before serving) to prevent them from browning.

Step 2: Add the Cherry Pie Filling

Next, pour the cherry pie filling over the fruit mixture. This adds a gorgeous red hue and an extra layer of sweetness. Gently fold it in using a spatula, making sure the fruit is coated evenly but not mashed.
