This was very good. Nice and light. I added cherries and that was very good in it. Next time I will add mini marshmellows for a little sweeter flavor and maybe some walnuts for some texture.

This recipe is awesome and really easy! I omitted the apple and banana and substituted in a can of pears (drained and cubed). I also used only 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of fat free sour cream. If you are in a hurry and don't have time to drain the fruit overnight in your refrigerator, just put it into a salad spinner; it worked great for me! Even the mandarin oranges were fine, just don't get too crazy with the spinner :o). Will definitely make again.

I made this for a BBQ and I did not think it looked to good. HOWEVER, it was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it and there was nothing left. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful fruit salad. I added maraschino cherries and left out the bananas. It is fantastic!

This is very tasty and super easy to make. I like the fact that you can adjust your recipe with whatever fruits you have on hand.

This has become our family favorite this summer! I've found it is a great salad to make in advance for parties. I drain the fruit overnight in the fridge and prepare the pudding in advance for convenience, then mix the two together and chill before the event. I've also used Orange sugar-free espresso syrup in place of the orange juice concentrate for convenience and it turned out great!

This was an awesome fruit salad. I also did some substituting in this recipe, along with other reviewers. I substituted the sour cream with cool whip and I skipped the bananas, because they turn brown fast, for marshmellows. My husband absolutely loves this and asks for it time and time again. Be sure to try this recipe!!!

Delicious - I will definitely make it again. I did drain my mandarin oranges because we are not huge fans. I loved the vanilla pudding base. Great recipe.

I used this "orange dressing" but substituted all fresh fruit for the canned recommended in the recipe. I used strawberries, grapes, blueberries, apples, and bananas. Everyone liked it.

This was pretty good. I liked the concept, and liked the orange cream flavor, but thought the apples and banana were out of place. I'd make this again, but without them.

I think more bananas are a must, if you like bananas. Also, I prefer more fruit in general with this much dressing. Pretty good.

This was so so. I used fat free sour cream and skim milk. Mine was not soupy. I dont think the combination of fruits works well and basically you are just making orange flavored pudding and mixing it with fruit. I wont make this again. No one said they hated it but no one wanted any more.

I also made this over Memorial weekend with the following changes based on others recommendations: 1. Let fruit drain overnight and make dressing the night before 2. Used 1 cup of half-n-half and 1/2 cup of sour cream 3. Added 2 tsp of vanilla extract 4. Diced peaches 5. Deleted apples and bananas 6. Added 1 pound fresh strawberries, 1 small container of blueberries, and about 2 cups of red grapes Turned out perfect with many wonderful comments! Great receipe Lori!

I really love this recipe. It's very easy and very good. I took the advise of other reviewers and let my canned fruit drain for a few hours. I doubled the recipe and didn't use as much milk. I also used pineapple chunks without cutting them up, which worked really well. Great recipe for summer entertainment.

I wanted to try this recipe today for our Memorial Day picnic, but halfway through making it I realized I didn't have a few key ingredients. First, I only used 1 cup of milk as suggested by other reviewers; 1/3 cup of regular orange juice as that was all I had on hand; 3/4 cup of whipped cream instead of sour cream as I don't care for the taste of sour cream; and about a pint or so of fresh sliced strawberries instead of the peaches since I was out of them. Even without this being exactly the same recipe it was great and several people commented on how good it was. I'll definitely make it again.
