I like another quick fruit salad I make from my childhood using canned fruit, but this is our favorite. I try to use fresh fruit as much as I can. Especially now, while the strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries are in season. We have some that are not a fan of bananas in this salad, so we leave them out but feel free to add them along with any other fresh fruit. I think Kiwi and grapes would be another delicious addition or even peaches. If you add peaches, a homemade peach pie filling is a great combination.
