Combine the Fruit:
In a large mixing bowl empty the drained fruit cocktail the drained crushed pineapple and the cherry pie filling Stir everything together with a large spoon until the mixture looks evenly combined and colorful
Add the Bananas:
Just before you are ready to serve slice the bananas and gently fold them into the fruit mixture This step keeps the bananas from turning brown and mushy
Optional Add-Ins:
To give the salad more texture and fun gently mix in mini marshmallows or shredded coconut Start with a handful and add more to taste depending on how playful you want the salad to feel
Chill and Serve:
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least half an hour Chilling melds all the fruity flavors and firms up the texture so it is ultra refreshing when you serve
