- Mix the Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Let it set for a few minutes until thickened.

- Chill and Serve: Fold in mini marshmallows, refrigerate the salad for at least an hour, and then serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
- Fruit Variations: Feel free to switch out fruits depending on what’s in season or your preferences. Other fruits like bananas, apples, or blueberries can be great additions.
- Make Ahead: This salad can be made a day before the event and stored in the fridge, making it a perfect dish for busy hosts.
- Sweetness: Taste the mixture before adding sugar. Some fruits may already add enough sweetness, so you can skip this step if preferred.
- Add-ins: For added texture, you can include chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon. Adjust the recipe to fit your taste!
