Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium bowl toss sliced bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning too quickly, set aside.
In a large bowl pour pineapple juice from a can (reserve pineapple chunks for later use).
Add vanilla pudding mix in pineapple juice and stir until thickened. Fold in whipped topping.
Drain the lemon juice from bananas. Add banana slices, diced strawberries, pineapple chunks, mini marshmallows, chopped walnuts and chocolate chips in pudding mixture. Gently stir with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon to combine all ingredients together. Place the salad in the fridge until ready to serve.
Before serving divide the mixture into serving cups, top with chocolate sauce, sprinkle with chopped nuts and place maraschino cherry on top.

Notes

Do not make the salad too much in advance because the fruits will change their color if it sits overnight in the fridge. It will still be delicious but not look as pretty as the first day!!!
