Ideas to Make Your Fruit Salad Shine:
Look, I get it. Sometimes, you don’t want just navel oranges and a little coconut to get you through (just kidding, I love it just the way it comes, but whatever). So, I’ve come up with some mix-ins that you can add to your fruit dessert to change it up:
- Whipped Cream
- Crushed Pineapple
- Maraschino Cherries
- Marshmallows and Coconut Balls
- Summer Berries
- Nuts
Now, I like to put my fruit cocktail dessert recipe on ice cream or toss off a dollop of cool whip. But the deal is, even if you have a sweet tooth, this sweet treat is ready to serve just like it is.

Since I’m only one person, I am hoping I can use Halo’s instead of Full Size Oranges. I have the coconut and Sour Cream, so I’m going to give it the old college try and use it as a side for my Kaula Pork and Sauteed Zucchini.
