For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat whipped topping. If you're not a fan of walnuts, pecans or almonds make excellent substitutes. This salad can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Experiment with different fruit combinations, such as mandarin oranges or fresh berries. Add a splash of Amaretto for an adult twist.
