Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Allow the pudding to sit for five minutes so it can fully set.
  2. While the pudding sets, take this time to prepare your fruit medley. Slice the strawberries, bananas, and drain the pineapple if using canned. Combine these with blueberries and halved grapes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in the whipped topping. Next, carefully add the prepared fruit into the pudding mixture, stirring slowly to coat all pieces evenly without mashing them.
  4. For a burst of freshness, squeeze in a tablespoon of lemon juice and gently mix it through the salad. If desired, fold in mini marshmallows for extra sweetness.
  5. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a serving dish and cover. Refrigerate the Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Once chilled, serve your Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad in individual bowls or a large serving dish. Enjoy!
