How To Make Easter Fruit Sald

The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the recipe. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.

This fruit salad is super easy to make, so let’s get started!

Toss the bananas, drained pineapple, and oranges into a bowl and give them a good mix.

For a slightly different flavor, drain the mandarin oranges but not the pineapple. (You can use pineapple in light syrup or juice.)

Sprinkle the dry pudding mix over the fruit…

and stir until everything is nicely coated.

For a creamier fruit salad, drain both of the cans of fruit and fold in some yogurt or Cool Whip after this step. I love to make this with plain Greek Yogurt to cut some of the sweetness. With yogurt, it can be a good breakfast option! (Feel free to omit the marshmallows.)

Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for about 45 minutes, or until it’s chilled.

Take it out of the fridge, add the marshmallows…

and serve right away. (If you don’t, the marshmallows will dissolve slightly. Not the worst thing, but I prefer the texture of this salad when it’s served immediately.)

For a fun touch, you can top it off with Peeps Marshmallow Bunnies—stick a toothpick in the bottom to help them stand up!
