TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE BEST STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING SALAD
Drain the fruit. Pour the canned fruit into a large colander and let it drain for a couple of hours, shaking it every 30 minutes. If it is not possible to drain for a couple of hours, drain as long as you can. The longer the fruit drains, the better the salad.
Slice large pieces. Slice the peaches and pineapple into smaller pieces. If adding bananas, slice them into small slices.
Stir gently. Once all the canned fruit is drained, add the pie filling and stir gently, being careful not to break up the fruit too much, making it mushy.

HOW TO PREPARE STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING SALAD
Drain the first four ingredients really well in a large colander. (I leave them in the colander for 2-3 hours.
This ensures the fruit stands out in the salad and is not so bland.) It also helps with the fruit salad not being so soggy.)
After the fruit has drained really well, gently fold in the pie filling, being sure not to break up the fruit too much.
Refrigerate and serve cold or room temperature.
