I was looking for a new kind of fruit salad to take to Christmas dinner.. and I've found it! I used about 1 1/4 c. of milk and then added some marschino cherries and grapes. Didn't use the apple because it's too cruchy. I may add some walnuts the next time I make it too. Excellent creamy texture that was just as good the next day. Thank you for this great recipe!

We really enjoyed this creamy citrus salad and will make it again. Used sugar free pudding mix, fat free sour cream and fat free milk. Next time I'll use a sweeter apple, our Granny Smith was a little too tart for my taste.

This salad tasted alright, but it does not appeal to the eye. I took it to a fellowship and someone thought it was potato salad. Even though I had it on the dessert table, people were still confused. I wouldn't make it again.

This was a crowd pleaser, but a little runny in my opinion. I might drain the fruit for a little longer.

I made this for Thanksgiving and the whole family raved! I cut the milk to 1 cup, added halved red seedless grapes and drained the fruit overnight. It was fantastic! Everyone loved it and requested (demanded) that I bring it to all of the family gatherings. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Didn't really care for this recipe. It was too sweet. I did cut down on the milk and added red grapes.

I modified this recipe because of my lack of items on hand, I must say it was still pretty good. I can't wait to make it again the way the recipe calls.

YUM!!! Super easy (just takes a little planning to let it chill the full time). I would try making without sour cream next time...wondering how important it is, since I really didn't get the zip I would've expected from it. It would make the recipe even healthier. A great side salad for any meal, any time of the year.

I read all the previous reviews and decided to try it for a harvest dinner. It didn't look real appetizing, but it got rave reviews from all.

YUMMY! So happy I found this recipe, I think it will become a staple at our family gatherings. I made the recipe as called for, but used the following reviewer suggestions to make it a hit: 1.Drain the canned fruits very well, even overnight, if possible. Reserve the pineapple juice. 2.Make the orange sauce and keep in fridge overnight. 3.After slicing/peeling/cutting the apples, soak them in the reserved pineapple juice. This will give them a little flavor boost and keep them from turning brown. 4.Mix the sauce and fruits together 2 hours before serving and keep cold until serving. Also, I did use halved red grapes, and they were a delicious, crunchy addition to the salad. I can't wait to make it again, because I have no leftovers!

Very good! I made just like it said and it wasn't runny at all, if anything it could have used more liquid. It actually was far more gelatin then I expected, which was different then described making me think the orange juice was still too cold when I added it. Overall a great salad.

I made this fruit salad for my girls and they absolutely loved it! I did add sliced red seedless grapes, coconut, and used French Vanilla Pudding. It was a big hit! They ask me to make it about once every two weeks and it doesn't last long! Great for family get-togethers and picnics.

We didn't like this--not sure why as it sounded so good. Maybe cool whip would make it better.

This recipe is fantastic-I did modify as others recommended and only used 1/2 cup sourcream, 3/4 cup orange juice concentrate, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup seedless grapes. I also added some cool-whip, coconut, and walnuts on top for decoration. It's wonderful, thanks for sharing!!!

I thought the orange "dressing" in the was WAY too tangy. The adults weren't crazy about it, but the kids loved it.

This was really good and went well at a friends bbq. I doubled the recipe and instead of using 3cups of milk, I did 2 cups. I took the advice of draining the fruit overnight, mix the sauce a few hours beforehand and added it to the fruit before I left. As for the apples, I reserved some pineapple juice and soaked the apples in the juice for about 15 min to keep them from turning brown and added them last,good tip from one of the comments. Used maraschino cherries and omitted the bananas. I kept it on ice while outside and it never got runny.
