After reading all the reviews, I expected this fruit salad to be the greatest ever. I didn't find that to be the case. I didn't change anything other than omiting the bananna and adding extra oranges. No one liked it much in my home{ I have 4 teenage sons}. I doubt I will make this again.

I have just had my first helping of this type of pudding/fruit salad ever & I really enjoyed it. I hope everyone else likes it..... Next time I will add less cool whip add more fruit cocktail & pineapple tidbits. As I sat here & read the reviews I added a little coconut & walnuts. I did not have canned mandarin oranges so I added little pieces of orange. Will make again :)

This has always been a mandatory item at our Thanksgiving table, so it's nice to see others love it as well. I've never made it with bananas, but we add a jar of marchino cherries that have been halved.

I fixed this recipe for my father-- I don't really like pistachios, and I still enjoyed it myself! Very easy to fix!

I love this recipe and would like to add more pistachios next time. I agree that 8oz. of cool whip is anough for recipe. I also added coconut and more pineapples and banana were sliced on top at serving

This recipe is absolutely wonderful!!! I made it for a summer lunch when my parents came to visit and it was very well received!!! We all loved it. Some changes I made was to use fruit cocktail that had extra cherries (cherry fruit mix) and I waited to put the bananas in when we served. I just added a few slices to each bowl and did not put it in the main bowl. It was delicious!!!!!!!!!

Great recipe that my family gobbles up. I use fat free whipped cream to make it healthier for my diabetic daughter and pineapple chunks because we love pineapple. Thanks for the easy and tasty recipe.

This recipe was a HIT at a dinner party we went to. I used the lesser amount of cool whip as others had recommended and it was just YUMMY.

This fruit salad is awesome! I am usually not particularly fond of fruit salads, but I was very intrigued by all the rave reviews. So, I tried it and it is irresistible! My husband also loved it. In preparation, I used 8 oz. of Cool Whip instead of 12 oz., it just looked and tasted perfect with the 8 oz., so I went with it. Also, I was gonna wait and put the bananas in right before serving it so they wouldn't turn brown or mushy, but I forgot to add them and it still turned out perfect without them! I used 1 cup of colored marshmallows and 1 cup of white marshmallows - perfect! Definitely a 5 star recipe! You won't be sorry you tried this recipe....

Great recipe. I increased the recipe to make 14 servings and it ended up making enough to serve 25 people. When it says "generous" serving sizes it means "generous" serving sizes.

My husband really likes this and he typically doesn't like sweets. I would use less marshmallows and maybe more fruit and not so much cool whip--I used low fat cool whip and sugar free pistachio mix. It was great!!

Everyone loved this. I used pecans and omitted the banana. So easy and looks so pretty especially at Christmas time. I didn't use banana, but might try next time. I made it twice during the holidays and I used 12 oz of cool whip. Was perfect side dish at Christmas party.
