Spectacular Sides: Pudding Fruit Salad

I have seen numerous variations of this recipe in cookbooks and online. All of them have pudding and fruit in common. I love this version the best. You can use fresh or canned fruit, and mix up the flavors of pudding according to your own tastes (banana, vanilla, tapioca, and/or lemon). Another great thing about t this salad is that kids (of all ages) love it. What's not to like about fruit and pudding? :D

Here's how I make my version.
