Pomegranate Fruit Salad Recipe


1 to 2 pomegranates (it depends on how big they are), peel fruits and break seeds apart
2 medium-sized bananas, peeled and sliced
2 oranges, peeled, sectioned and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 large apples, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups seedless grapes, cut in half
1 20-ounce can pineapple tidbits, drained
1/2 cup celery, diced thinly
1/2 cup  walnuts, chopped
1 pint whipping cream.

Grandma T. made a fruit salad but she didn't add the fresh fruit. She used canned fruit and fruit cocktail and topped it with whipped cream

Both Aunt Renee and Grandma Smith made a Waldorf Salad dressing but Dad liked his mother's whipped cream dressing. The other day, however, he said that he remembered that he liked my family salad. I like it the way my family made it. And this is the recipe that they used. Grandma Edna learned to make it from them. She said to just never let anyone (like your dad) see you stir in the mayonnaise and you would be fine. There was no recipe just "do as I do" which was pretty much the way my family cooked. I am the one who made them let me measure their "one full hand of" and wrote everything down.

1 pint whipping cream, whipped
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Fold in the whipped cream.

I have tried it with one 8-ounce container of vanilla yogurt as the dressing. That is also good, I think.

Directions:
Mix fruits together and chill in refrigerator. Lightly toss fruits with the dressing. Top with walnuts just before serving.
