Layered Fruit Salad

“To dress up a fresh fruit salad, Linda Cowan tops it with a sweet creamy concoction. 'The original recipe called for heavy whipping cream, but I lightened it up a little,' she details from Fayette, Alabama. 'Served in a cut-glass bowl, this salad looks elegant on any table. It's quick and easy to make but looks like you fussed.'”

Something about the word "salad" being in the title of this is just wrong! It was really good, but more like a dessert. I would definitely make it again, but not for a side dish! Thanks for sharing!

I used mangos (peaches weren't in season), strawberries, kiwi, blueberries & raspberries. I used heavy whipping cream (added 1 tsp of vanilla) and whipped it into the consistency of whipped topping and then added the cream cheese/sugar mixture. It turned out amazing.

I took this to a potluck and it was completely gone in 30 minutes! Everyone loved it! I like that you can use any fruit you want.

I made this for my family's Thanksgiving dinner and everybody loved it. I used caned oranges and pineapples instead of fresh peaches because of the season. I also layered everything twice, so that there was a whipping cream layer in the middle and at the top. I also drizzle walnuts on the top. So good!

Fresh, easy and colorful - I brought this to a co-workers luncheon. Everybody loved it. I used canned peaches because fresh wasn't in season. I did keep the pecans in a separate bowl with it's own spoon out of consideration for those with allergies.

I loved the concept of a layered fruit salad and I incorporated some of my own fruit choices. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks! :)

I wanted something quick and easy to make that was also healthy for my workout class' summer BBQ. This was a big hit! I used bananas on bottom, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, seedless green/red grapes, royal gala apple (peeled) and kiwi on top. I took someone else's suggestion and used honey instead of icing sugar. It was a delicious guilt free dessert to have on a sunny summer afternoon.

This recipe was so good! I used canned peaches because fresh peaches aren't in season. The rest of the recipe followed exactly. I made it the night before for my church's Easter lunch and it was devoured. Thanks for so such a yummy, easy fruit salad.

I used this recipe but changed it up and used strawberries, bannanas, green seedless grapes, cherries and oranges! Instead of layering I just mixed it all up this is very good! Also I used instead of the cream cheese I used Neufchatel cheese just as good and 1/2 the fat! YUMMY!!
