One reason I'm always looking for a new salad recipe is that salads can be boring—a bowl of greens, a few add-ins and your usual dressing day after day gets monotonous.
Today's recipe is a fruit salad, but this is what I typically serve for dessert in warm weather.
It has some of my favorite fruits and the dressing actually comes from the peach pie filling as it melds with all the other fruits.
The ingredients can be a mix of fresh and canned to make life easy for you. It's cold, delicious, and sweet enough to pass as dessert.
First I want to tell you this new Duncan Hines Comstock Peach Pie Filling. The only ingredients in this canned product are: peaches, water, sugar, cornstarch, peach juice concentrate, and citric acid. No HFCS, no preservatives, no vegetable gums. It's probably as "clean" as a canned product can be.
The link is for a case of the peach pie filling on Amazon. If you're like my family and love peach anything, you may want to buy the 8 can case. At Walmart, this can is almost $9.67—talk about sticker shock!!! At Amazon, a case of 8 breaks down to $3.60 a can. ($28.83 a case.)
PEACH SALAD
Ingredients
2 (15 and 1/2 ounce cans chunk pineapple, drained
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained or 2-3 fresh oranges, peeled and diced
16 ounces fresh strawberries, sliced (or frozen if you can't find fresh)
4 large bananas sliced
1 (21 and 1/2 ounce) can Duncan Hines Comstock Peach Pie Filling
Directions
If using canned fruit, drain and save the liquid for mixing with other juices.
Mix the pineapple, oranges, strawberries, and bananas in a large bowl.
Add the peach pie filling to the fruit in the bowl and gently combine well.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
This is so good, you'll get rave reviews. You can also serve it as a topping for vanilla ice cream or pound cake for those who like a serious hit of sweetness.
