Recipes-FRUIT SALAD

I thought since the Holidays are coming up that I would post some of my favorite recipes:

FRUIT SALAD

1 large Grannie Smith apple chopped
1 large Red Delicious apple chopped
1 large banana chopped
1 large can pineapple tidbits (drained)
1 can fruit cocktail (drained)
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup miniature marshmallows (white or colored)

add first 3 ingredients in large mixing bowl and cover with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
let sit about 5 minutes while assembling remaining ingredients. I use canned fruit sweetened with Splenda.
Add the rest of ingredients and stir well.
You can add about 1/4 cup of mayonnaise to taste according to preference.
Garnish with red and green cherries.
