This is the EASIEST Creamy Fruit Salad recipe, perfect for any occasion and a total crowd-pleaser.
Our whole family loves this fruit salad with Cool Whip. As you can probably guess, you can change which fruits you use based on your preferences. I do think that Granny Smith Apples are amazing with Cool Whip though- it’s just the right combination of tart and sweet.

Ingredients
- Granny Smith Apples
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Frozen Whipped Topping (I use Cool Whip)
I like to serve most salads and sides in white serving bowls.
Instructions
Wash and dry fruit. I like to use this vinegar fruit wash to prep fruit beforehand.
- Chop apples and strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix 2/3 of the chopped apples with about 1 cup of cool whip. Fold in 2/3 of the strawberries and blueberries.
- Add a layer of cool whip over the top of the creamy fruit mixture.
- Put the remaining fruit on top of the Cool whip layer. Serve immediately!
Optional: Garnish with a few dollops of extra cool whip.
PRO TIPS FOR FRUIT SALAD WITH COOL WHIP
- The amount of fruit you use can vary. Don’t worry about exact measurements, just put in as much of each fruit as you like.
- If you aren’t serving immediately, keep the salad refrigerated until ready to serve.
- If you need to make this ahead of time, try to serve it within an hour or two of making it. (After a while, the apples will brown and start to get soggy.)
