We have so many mandarin oranges in the pantry pretty much at all times – this recipe will be a fabulous way to use them up! Thank you!

This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it!

I recall preparing this salad when it first came out in Taste of Home. I did not have the pineapple tidbits on hand. I’d used drained, crushed pineapple and a regular 15-oz. can of drained peach halves, sliced and 5 medium Navel oranges, peeled and cut into slices. I used1 cup sour cream. I’d kept the apples and bananas the same. I had added 1 cup slicedfresh strawberries. My tip: Add the berries and banana slices to salad just before serving so the fruit doesn’t get mushy! (‘ve had to keep that in mind when making a fresh fruit salad!) delowenstein

The best fruit salad I have found 5 STARS!! So simple to make low to no fat & Diabetic. Which I always do and no one knows! Every holiday this is on my menu.
