Grandma's Old Fashioned Fruit Salad with Mayonnaise
Grandma's old-fashioned fruit salad with mayonnaise is easily my favorite holiday fruit salad. This creamy fruit salad recipe comes together quickly with just some fresh fruit, chocolate chips for added sweetness, and a 2-ingredient dressing. Just like my grandma used to make!

- Add as many chocolate chips as desired.
- Dump into a large enough serving bowl to hold all of your fruit salad or place in bowls for each individual serving.
