Favorite Fruit Salad

I grew up with the "cut up some apples and bananas, throw in a can of fruit cocktail and a can of mandrin oranges, then through in an entire container of Cool Whip. Add marshmallows." It's overly sweet, but was such a holiday staple that I had no idea what to do when I married John and suddenly Cool Whip was off the menu. So we started playing around (and seriously those who can whip coconut cream to substitute whip cream, do not seem to realize that it STILL TASTES LIKE COCONUT) and this is what we came out with.
Good for kids and adults, needs to sit at least overnight-better 24 hrs, so plan accordingly.

Favorite Fruit Salad

• 3 apples, I prefer Fuji Apples, I've done it with others, but Fuji gives the best taste.
• 3 oranges, California navel are good, Florida oranges, well really those are juicing oranges.
• 3-4 bananas
• mini-marshmallows
• chopped walnuts
• lemon juice

Alot of this is to taste, so adjust to your own families likes.

1. Dice apples, put in bottom of large bowl. Dice bananas, add to bowl. Dice oranges, add on top. If oranges are really ripe and juicy, there will be enough citric acid in it to keep the bananas from turning brown. Otherwise add 1-2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice. Toss. 
2. Add marshmallows and chopped walnuts. We like lots of nuts, so I use about 1 1/2-2 cups chopped walnuts. (I fill my mini-chopper with the walnuts, chop, and use all of that.) John doesn't want it too sweet, so we use about 1/2 a bag of marshmallows.
3. Put in fridge for 12-24 hours. The citric acid in the oranges (and lemon juice if used) start to eat at the marshmallows sweetening everything, 
4. Enjoy! There is rarely leftovers of this, and what is left is claimed for breakfast by the first person to get to the fridge.
