I like calling this Pasta Fruit “Melody” after my niece but it is medley. This makes a LOT! I’m always asked for the recipe. I don’t usually like fruit salads but I love this one. It is very refreshing – great for brunches and potlucks. I got this recipe from a friend of my hubby’s family many years ago.
1 (16 oz) bag spiral pasta
1 (16 oz) can pineapple chunks (save juice)
2 cups sliced strawberries (sliced long ways top to bottom)
1 1/2 cups white grapes (sliced in half long ways)
1 1/2 cups red grapes (sliced in half long ways)
Dressing:
2 cups REAL mayo
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup pineapple juice
Blend dressing ingredients together. Cook and drain pasta. Add a little more juice before serving.

I’ve never heard of a fruit salad made with pasta. I’ll definitely have to give this a try!

All I can say is – Really?? Pasta and fruit? That is the strangest combination I have seen in a long time. I’m now really wanting to try it for our next potluck!
