The best fruit salad with pudding comes together with the perfect combination of in season fruits for any family gathering.

Best Fruits for a Fruit Salad with Pudding:
We made a couple yummy dishes to bring to the BBQ, one of them being this super simple fruit salad that feeds a crowd. It came together really easily with some delicious summer fruit: strawberries, blueberries, red grapes, pineapple, and mandarin oranges.
Vanilla Pudding for Summer Fruit Salad:
The salad is then topped with a simple sauce made form instant vanilla pudding powder, and vanilla extract. I was a little dubious about the combination at first, especially when it looked like there was weird lumps all over the fruit, but as the pudding, vanilla, and natural sugars from the fruit worked together over time in the fridge, it made a wonderful and subtle sauce that was the perfect addition to this salad!
If you're in the need for a super simple summer bbq fruit salad with the perfect vanilla glaze on top, look no further. This is all you'll need this summer!
