Fruit Salad 24-Hour is one of our go to holiday salads because it is light and fluffy. It is packed with good fruit, and very versatile. You can add or take away any fruit, so that it will please everyone in your dinner party. The rich creamy sauce that goes into the whipped cream is what makes this salad so yummy and sweet.

I like that you can make it the day before, as that frees up time to spend with family on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, or any day, instead of being in the kitchen all day. Try this for your salad for your holidays this year.  I know that you will really enjoy it.
