Christina's Notes
-
- Drain Canned Fruits Well: This is crucial to prevent a watery salad. You can even use fruit cocktail for this salad.
-
- Fold Gently: Gently fold the ingredients into the Cool Whip to maintain its fluffiness.
-
- Chill the delicious Fruit Salad Before Serving: Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
-
