Creamy Fruit Salad

Finding myself with a wondrous surplus of fruit in our recent CSA shares, I heavily adapted this recipe for creamy fruit salad as a fruit-based side dish. As usual, my goal is use as much of the share food as possible, without adding in other produce unless truly necessary. I used:

4 peaches, diced and pits removed

4 nectarines, diced and pits removed

8 Methley plums, diced and pits removed

2 cups blueberries

1/4 cup trail mix

1 (1 1/2 ounce) box sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix

1/3 cup sweetened lime juice

2/3 cup water

Combine the peaches, nectarines, plums, blueberries and trail mix in a large mixing bowl. In small mixing bowl, combine pudding mix, water and lime juice with a wire whisk until smooth. Add pudding mixture to fruit. Mix gently until thoroughly coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

This was incredibly easy and quick to make, and the result was quite tasty. The lime juice added a strong flavor base.
