Quick and Easy Fruit Salad Recipe

Fruit SaladA Delicious Quick and Easy 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 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.  Plus, it is a family favorite so it is always a welcome addition to any menu.

In the rare case that there are leftovers, I have been known 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.
