This morning the kids and I surprised their teachers with breakfast! We made Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents, and this wonderful Easy Fruit Salad. Our teachers do so much for our children, I thought it would be nice to surprise them and say thank you. What better way than with Breakfast. I wanted them to know just how much we appreciate them and all that they do. I got this recipe years back from a friend, I had made it once before but had forgotten about it. This fruit salad is actually a diabetic recipe. All I know is that my kids love this stuff. I did not think they would, but they couldn't get enough of it. Now I need to make another bowl this weekend just for us. You can use any fruits that are in season, plus you can change the pie filling from peach to apricot or even apple. Peach is always my favorite. Also this recipe utilizes fresh strawberries, but if you want to make this when strawberries are out of season just use frozen. This salad is a perfect addition to any breakfast, brunch, or barbecue really any special occasion. It makes a pretty good amount, so there is plenty to go around. Just toss everything together and let it chill until ready to serve. It doesn't get any easier than that. 
here is my little helper showing me how strong he is. Carson said he could hold the bowl all by himself.
Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl. (Make sure to drain the pineapple and the mandarin oranges) Gently mix everything, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Easy Fruit Salad
1 -16oz container fresh strawberries
2 - cups green grapes (seedless)
2 - small cans or 1 large can mandarin oranges, drained
1 - 16-24 oz pineapple chunks, drained

2 - cups green grapes (seedless)
2 - small cans or 1 large can mandarin oranges, drained
1 - 16-24 oz pineapple chunks, drained
4 - 5 bananas, chunked
1 - can peach (21 oz) or apricot pie filling (I prefer peach)
Gently mix all the ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.
(Make sure to drain the pineapple and the mandarin oranges)
(If using frozen strawberries use one large 24oz container do not drain)
