A simple fruit salad that's simple to make for a large gathering or also easy to halve for smaller groups. It's called 14 cup, for a reason, but I don't measure the fruit...just get the large cans or what 'about' equals a total of 6 cups of the vario... More

Sounds delicious and easy too. Thanks for sharing.


Picture looks amazing. Sounds really good, although I'm not a marshmallow fan, Brad and Jake would love. Hell, I might even try it. (teehee)


Thanks for sharing Keni! Sounds great, I will have to try it for the party we are having for hubby's co-workers when they get home from Louisiana.


So glad you posted this! My mom used to make something very similar, and I lost the recipe! She would always make it on Easter, and she would use the springtime colored marshmallows! Great post.


My mom has made this for years...except for the dark cherries. I'll suggest them to her to add to the salad. It is sooooooo good. Thanks! Susie


Thanks for the recipe suggestion, Keni. I made it for the party this past weekend, and it went over very well. I didn't add the coconut, and forgot to add the pecans, but was very tasty as-is. Thanks for a simple and affordable fruit salad recipe!
