What's Cooking?

WHAT’S COOKING?
Summer Fruit Salad
1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 21 oz. can peach pie filling
2 bananas, peeled and diced
3 kiwis, sliced
1 pint strawberries, sliced

In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples in reserved pineapple juice. Allow to sit for 5 – 10 minutes. Slice kiwi and strawberries. Remove the apples from pineapple juice and add to a large salad bowl. Add chopped bananas to reserved pineapple juice and let sit for 5 -10 minutes. Combine the pineapple chunks, sliced kiwi and sliced strawberries with apples in salad bowl. Add bananas to mixture along with peach pie filling. Use just enough pie filling (1/2 can or less) to give the fruits a light glaze. This is really the key to a unique salad. Serves 8.

Optional: Add mandarin oranges, green or red grapes or blueberries.
