Fruit Salad

One of the must-haves at holiday dinners and other family get-togethers has been mom's fruit salad recipe. i suppose i'll have to get it written out on a recipe card - i may even try my hand at it and take it to whatever thanksgiving dinner i end up going to...

ingredients:
dream whip, prepared as directed on package
canned Tropical Fruit Salad, drained (it's a combo of pineapple, white guava, and red and yellow papaya chunks)
fresh red delicious apple, cubed
fresh banana, sliced
miniature marshmallows
nuts are optional (i think it's walnuts she uses)

mix up all the ingredients in the larger white Pyrex Cinderella Mixing Bowl (the Early American pattern) cover with Saran wrap and take to dinner!
