My grandmother used to make this salad when I was a little girl. It's a tradition in my family now, for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ingredients:
1 (15.25 ounce) can fruit cocktail, juice reserved |
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained |
3 apples, cored and diced with peel |
2 bartlett pears, cored and diced |
2 bananas |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, apples, pears, and pecans.
2. In a small mixing bowl, mix cream cheese and lemon juice. Add enough fruit cocktail juice to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
3. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the fruit mixture and toss. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving. Prior to serving slice bananas, add to fruit salad and toss again.
