Fruit Salad

This is super easy (aside from the time consuming part of chopping the fruit) and yummy. My mother-in-law makes this but she uses canned fruit, drained. I prefer the fresh stuff, but either way is good. Our favorite fruits to use are strawberries, bananas, kiwi, apples, nectarines/peaches, and grapes (if your kids will eat this, you may want to slice the grapes in half). Also this is best if eaten with in the first couple days... it starts to get real mushy after that.

1 medium sized tub of coolwhip
1 small box of pudding, unprepared (I like cheesecake flavor the best, but banana or vanilla are good, too.)
chopped fruit (I'm guessing about 4-6 cups)

Mix the coolwhip and pudding powder together and set aside while you chop the fruit. Throw it all in a bowl and stir.

If you're making this for a large group, the large tub of coolwhip and large pudding box will work, too.
