I have to thank my dear ol’ mommy for this dreamy, creamy orange fruit salad recipe. She has been making this fruit salad every single Easter for years. And even though it’s sweet, we don’t eat this for dessert, no no no. This goes right with our meal. It’s a rule. And I encourage you to do the same. Aside from Easter though, which I realize is totally over this year, fruit salad is totally perfect for spring and summer picnics, brunch, potlucks, and yes, dessert of course. 😉
My crucial tip when you make this fruit salad recipe:
Drain the pineapples really well. Draining as much of that juice as possible ensures that this fruit salad stays light and fluffy! I dump the crushed pineapple into a strainer, and use the back of a spoon to press down on the pineapple and remove excess liquid.
