Pineapple Salad (Hurry Up Fruit Salad)
This “Hurry Up Fruit Salad” or Pineapple Salad is one of my favorite fruit side dishes. It is a perfect accompaniment with any main dish, especially for your turkey dinners coming up this Thanksgiving. The wonderful combination of bananas, mandrain oranges, pineapples, flaked coconut, golden raisins, and chopped walnuts bring out this recipe’s perfect tropical and sweet flavors with every bite you eat. Enjoy…Pineapple Salad is super easy and fast. It is also a classic. This fruit salad recipe is from the 1987 Southern Living Magazine.

Pour the drained pineapple into a large bowl.
Add the drained mandrain oranges.
Next add the flaked coconut, golden raisins, bananas (drained of pineapple juice), and chopped walnuts.
