Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) Instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup Cold milk
  • 1 container (8 ounces) Frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 pint Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3 medium Bananas, sliced

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the pudding mixture is evenly combined and fluffy.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries and bananas to the bowl.
  4. Fold carefully to keep the fruit intact and prevent the bananas from becoming mashed. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use cold milk and fully thawed whipped topping for the best pudding texture. For the freshest appearance, slice and add the bananas just before serving. An additional pint of strawberries or one more banana can be used for a fruitier salad.
