Cool N Breezy Fruit Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon zest and juice until blended. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture., Layer fruit in a 2-qt. glass bowl; spread cream cheese mixture over top. Refrigerate, covered, until serving or up to 24 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with pecans.

Steps:

• Drain pineapple and oranges reserving juice in small bowl.
• In large bowl combine fruit.
• Sprinkle pudding mix into reserved juice; mix until combined and slightly thickened.
• Fold into fruit until well combined.
• Edited based on reviews: The sauce will be somewhat thin, kind of like a glaze. If you would like it thicker and creamier, mix less of the reserved juice into the pudding mix.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash bananas. Stir in orange juice concentrate, pineapple and strawberries until well mixed. In a separate bowl, stir sugar into boiling water until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly, then pour over fruit mixture; stir to coat. Freeze until cold and just firm.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples in 2 tablespoons lemon juice (Note: orange juice could also be used instead of lemon juice).
• Add in the drained pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges and grapes.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry pudding mix with 1/4 cup orange juice and the liquid you had drained from the can of pineapple. Using a wire whisk, mix it until it starts to thicken. If it seems too thick, thin it with a little more orange juice.
• Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to mix well.
• Fold in the blueberries last (and gently).
• Chill until ready to serve. This keeps 3-4 days if it lasts that long!

Steps:

• Boil a pot of water. When the water starts to boil add the Haricots Verts a few at a time to the pot an cook for 90 seconds each time. (overcrowding the pot by adding all of it will leave some of the green beans unblanched an significantly lower the temperature of the water. Adding a few at a time will avoid this problem).
• With a strainer take the haricots verts and put them in ice water to cool completely, immediately.
• In a large bowl put all the ingredients together, including the Haricots verts and mix well. Refrigerate, until ready to serve. (if you are taking this to a friends house, as opposed to serving it in your own home for the potluck, make sure to cover the top of the bowl.).

Steps:

• In a serving bowl combine drained oranges, drained pineapple, drained and chopped maraschino cherries & marshmallows. Gently mix. Add Cool Whip and gently fold until combined. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put grapes, musk melon and water melon in a large salad bowl.
• Mix sweetened condensed milk, plain milk and cinnamon powder thoroughly.
• Pour this over the fruit and toss gently.
• Fold in toasted almonds and mix gently.
• Garnish with mint leaves and refrigerate for atleast 1/2 hour before serving.
