A Quick, Easy, and Delicious Fruit Salad Recipe

I prefer quick and easy recipes like this fruit salad recipe. During the holidays or on special occasions, I would rather spend my time with my family and friends than in the kitchen cooking so I am always delighted when I find a recipe that is a snap to prepare.

In my opinion, a perfect recipe is a recipe that is a combination of quick, easy and delicious.

In this article, I will share a fruit salad recipe that takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, makes a pretty addition to the table and tastes fabulous!

I can not recall when or where I originally obtained this recipe, but I have used it for many years now and it is always a treat. It is especially wonderful during the holidays since it can be served as an appetizer, a side or a dessert.

In the rare case that there happens to be any leftovers, I have been know to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Once the fruit salad is mixed together and refrigerated, it will still be good for several days.

      So then can I add vanilla wafers or graham crackers for crust in a cake dish, layer with sliced bananas and then pour the fruit salad on top, chill and serve?
