Banana Split Fluff Salad
A creamy, fruity, no-bake dessert salad packed with banana, pineapple, strawberries, cherries, marshmallows, and whipped topping—perfect for potlucks, BBQs, and sweet side dish lovers.
- 1 box 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 container 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 1½ cups mini marshmallows
- 2 ripe bananas sliced
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- ½ cup chopped maraschino cherries plus extra for garnish
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
- Chocolate syrup optional, for drizzling
Combine vanilla pudding mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple (juice included) in a large bowl. Stir until thick and smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until creamy and well blended.
Stir in mini marshmallows, banana slices, strawberries, cherries, and nuts (optional). Mix gently to keep the fruit intact.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to soften the marshmallows and meld the flavors.
Before serving, garnish with extra cherries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and more nuts if desired. Serve cold.
