  • 2 medium Bananas Choose less ripe bananas for a firmer bite.

Greens
  • 2 cups Fresh Greens (lettuce or spinach) Offers a crisp texture that balances the sweetness of the fruits.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • pineapple corer
  • Spoon
  • spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by slicing the pineapple into bite-sized pieces using a corer for ease. Peel the mandarin oranges and separate the segments. Slice the bananas into rounds and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Gently add the chopped pineapple, mandarin orange segments, and banana slices into the same large bowl. Toss the fruits together until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar-free Jello with the reserved juice from the mandarin oranges. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  4. Drizzle the Jello dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss to ensure they are evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  6. When ready to serve, ladle portions into individual bowls or serve directly from the bowl.

Notes

For best results, let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld nicely. Consider using a clear glass bowl for an eye-catching presentation.
