Have you seen that show The Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network??
If you haven't, the title pretty much sums it up.
Tonight I am going to share with you {ONE} of the best things I ever ate.
Let me set the scene...
I came home from the hospital with my very first baby. Got to the house, and 10 minutes later my sweet visiting teacher showed up with dinner. Little did I know that it would change my life.
Ok... Ok... I am being dramatic here! But seriously. She showed up with dinner plus this fruit salad. I think I pretty much ate the whole bowl by myself. It was THE BEST thing I had ever eaten! It tasted like heaven on a spoon. It might have had something to do with the fact that I had just given birth 2 days previous, but I still consider it one of the best things I have ever eaten
After I recovered and took her dishes back to her, I begged for the recipe... So now almost 3 years later, I am going to share it with ya'll!
I feel bad that I can't give credit to whoever came up with this recipe... But if anyone knows- let me know so I can send them a million thank yous! This is my go-to fruit salad for any event and everyone LOVES it!
To make this salad you will need:
1 12 oz bag of frozen raspberries (keep frozen- don't thaw)
2 15 oz cans of mandarin oranges (drained)
1 large lime
1 small container of cool whip
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Mix the cool whip, condensed milk, and juice of the lime in a large mixing bowl. Then mix in the raspberries and mandarin oranges.
Easy right??
I think it is best served ULTRA cold! Like keep it in the freezer until you serve it cold.
I have also made this salad with other fruit added as well and it is so yummy too! I have tried raspberries, oranges, strawberries, grapes, and kiwis all together and it was delicious! I am sure you could make it with any fruit and it would be so yummy! The sauce makes it taste almost like a dessert.
Try it... You will love it!
