The Scoop

It sounds very suspicious, but once you try it, you'll suddenly get it and join the if-you-know-you-know club.
This is clearly not your average fruit salad. It’s the one that will show up at every summer gathering and every summer food talk, and you will be left with an empty bowl. Every. Single. Time.  
And there is indeed a secret: A little bit of vanilla pudding mixed with the fruit. Here we used strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and grapes. It sounds very suspicious, but once you try it, you'll suddenly get it and join the if-you-know-you-know club.  
Think of it as your childhood fruit bowl improved and elevated.
Hack it:
Meal prepping? Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice to keep the fruit extra vibrant and zesty for longer.
Add fruit-flavored instant pudding mix instead of vanilla for a more kid-friendly flavor.
Take it with a grain of salt: Add a tiny pinch of salt to your fruit salad to make all the flavors pop!
Add fresh herbs to make it a bit more sophisticated. Basil and mint always work wonders.
Leftovers:
Spoon any leftovers over yogurt for a quick, high-protein snack.
Heat them up with a bit of maple syrup and use them to top your pancakes.
Bring out that boring vanilla ice cream from the freezer and make it exciting with your leftover fruit salad as a colorful topping.
Keep in mind that leftovers are not ideal for freezing, but honestly... it rarely survives that long anyway.
