Home made fruit salad
My aunt, long since gone, used to make a killer fruit salad that was as much a dessert to me as salad. I remember it had nuts, apples, bananas, marshmellows, cherries, and I think pineapple although not certain. If I remember correctly it also had mayo in it as a binder although I could be wrong about that as well.
In searching the net I find most recipes call for yogurt or Cool Whip as binders and I doubt my aunt ever heard of either of these.
Anyone have a recipe for an old fashioned Southern fruit salad they can share?
Thanks

I think Waldorf salad uses mayo...
Many things to do.

How dare you question my story. I don't remember you being there, unless you were the drunk uncle I wasn't allowed to hang around.

This sounds like what I grew up eating.
Think I'll go snack.
