Overnight Fruit Salad for a Surprise Breakfast

This morning the kids and I surprised their teachers with breakfast! We made Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents, and this wonderful Overnight Fruit Salad. Our teachers do so much for our children, I thought it would be nice to surprise them and say thank you. What better way than with Breakfast. I wanted them to know just how much we appreciate them and all that they do. I got this recipe years back from a friend, I had made it once before but had forgotten about it. This fruit salad is actually a diabetic recipe. All I know is that my kids love this stuff. I did not think they would, but they couldn't get enough of it. Now I need to make another bowl this weekend just for us.

You can use any fruits that are in season, plus you can change the pie filling from peach to apricot or even apple. Peach is my favorite. Also since this recipe utilizes frozen strawberries you don't have to wait until they are in season. This salad is a perfect addition to any breakfast, brunch, or barbecue really any special occasion. It makes a pretty good amount, so there is plenty to go around. Just toss everything together and let it chill overnight. It doesn't get any easier than that.


These are the ingredients you will need:
4-5 bananas, Peach or Apricot Pie Filling, Green Grapes, Mandarin Oranges, Frozen Sliced Strawberries and Pineapple Chunks. You can even add some kiwis if you want.



Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl. (Make sure to drain the pineapple and the mandarin oranges) Do not drain the strawberries.




here is my little helper showing me how strong he is. Carson said he could hold the bowl all by himself.



Gently mix everything, cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
