FROZEN FRUIT SALAD

This fruit salad recipe carries a nostalgic charm from the past. This vintage-inspired dish offers a unique and delightful way to savor an assortment of fruits. While it’s a cherished part of holiday feasts, it can also bring a touch of fun to your summer gatherings.

This classic recipe is a treasure from my great-grandma’s collection, a playful variation on traditional marshmallow fruit salad, but with an extra twist—it’s frozen! It’s the ideal addition to festive occasions or as a revitalizing summer side dish. You might even find it to be a light and refreshing dessert option.

To this day, this recipe remains a beloved tradition at our family gatherings. Nowadays, my Aunt Jenny has taken up the tradition, ensuring it graces our Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas tables without fail.
