I love fruit but sometimes it can get a little boring eating the same fruits every day. Sometimes you got to give fruit a little pizzaz and maybe get the kids excited too!

I want to share with you a very EASY fruit salad recipe that you can make that requires only a few ingredients and tastes delicious. For this recipe I used a couple cans of the Libby Fruit Salad (with no sugar added), a box of Jello and a tub of Cool Whip.

You might have already tried this recipe at one time or another. My daughter said it looks like the jello at school, but says mine tastes way better. Here is an easy recipe for this yummy fruit salad:

Ingredients

1box of gelatin
2cans of Libby Fruit Salad
1tub of whipped topping

Instructions

Create the gelatin per instructions on box and allow to cool at least 6-8 hours to firm.
Once jello is cooled, take a spoon and stir it around for a few seconds.
Add jello to large bowl, then add cans of fruit and whipped topping. Stir lightly to blend ingredients.
Enjoy!

Or if you don’t want the cream, leave it out!

I would love to know what you put in your fruit salad?

This looks really good. I could definitely see using lo-calorie gelatin and low fat whipped cream to make it a low calorie snack.

We like cottage cheese with jello mix and pineapple. Sounds weird but it’s really good!

This is so similar to a jello salad my momma used to make when I was a kid. Now I want one of my momma’s salads!

I really enjoy these types of fruit salads as an occasional treat! I’ve had some with marshmallow fluff added and walnuts as well.
