Red White & Blue Fruit Salad

Use fresh, unblemished strawberries and blueberries for the best flavor.


Create a patriotic dessert to enjoy on the Fourth of July or any occasion. The red and blue colors in this sweet fruit salad come from fresh strawberries and blueberries while the white is a combination of pudding and whipped topping. You can add even more flavor to your fruit salad by experimenting with different pudding flavors such as white chocolate or coconut.


Instructions








1. Combine the contents of a 3.4 oz. package of instant vanilla pudding mix with 1/2 cup of white grape juice in a large mixing bowl.


2. Whip the pudding mix and grape juice with electric beaters on low speed for approximately two minutes. The mixture will look like a very thick and smooth pudding when it is finished.








3. Stir 8 oz. of thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture.


4. Add 1 1/2 cups of sliced strawberries and 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries. Stir the salad gently with a spoon to evenly distribute the fruit.


5. Refrigerate the red, white and blue fruit salad for at least one hour before serving.
