~Overnight Fruit Salad~

I am a huge fan of fruit salads.

In fact, I have never tasted a fruit salad I didn't like.

Fruit salads are versatile, easy to prepare and

when fresh fruit is in season, nothing else compares.

Fruit salads are always a hit at picnic's and gatherings...so

What makes this fruit salad so tasty is

while this salad sits in the refrigerator overnight

the mini marshmallows get nice and soft.

It's almost like they melt into the whipped topping

pudding mixture.
