Here is a second fruit salad recipe from another reader, Rachel. She said she saw this one on Martha Stewart. It is super easy.
PrintLight and Easy Fruit Salad
Ingredients
Fruit
Sweetened condensed milk
Toasted coconut
Instructions
- Cut up any type of fresh, frozen or canned fruit that you have.
- Place it into a bowl.
- Pour just enough sweetened condensed milk on it to barely coat the fruit until the sweetened condensed milk clings to the fruit. Don’t drown it.
- Serve in parfait glasses if you like.
- Top with toasted coconut.
Notes
Rachel said that since she is the only one in her family who eats fruit, she keeps the sweetened condensed milk in the fridge in a container and then uses what she needs each day for her own individual servings.
The next fruit salad recipe is one I have used for decades and I love to make it for a refreshing fruit salad in the winter. I keep cans of tropical fruit in my pantry to use for this but you could use fresh fruit if you want – mango, papaya, pineapple, etc.
I like to use a combination of fresh and canned fruit. For some reason, adding one fresh ingredient to anything canned seems to lead people to automatically think the whole thing is fresh.

1 banana, sliced
coconut
whipped topping, optional
Instructions
- Place the canned fruit in bowl.
- Add banana.

Sounds yummy! Something I do for Christmas breakfast is waffles with fruit. I take a container of whipped topping, the regular size and mix a drained can of tropical fruit, pineapple and a fresh sliced banana, or a drained can of fruit cocktail. Mix well and place on top of a cooked waffle. My family loves it, and you can prepare it the night before (except add the banana prior to serving to avoid browning).
I made the million dollar rice salad earlier this week . We finished it off at lunch. It is so easy and oh so good. I sure appreciate all your work.
