Notes
Drain the canned fruit first. If you forget to remove the extra liquid, your frozen salad is likely to come out runny.
Freezing options: Freeze in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish for family style serving. For individual servings, freeze portions of salad in ramekins.
Plan ahead: Allow at least 6 to 8 hours for your salad to set and freeze. You can make this as far as several weeks in advance and keep it frozen until ready to serve.
Cover: Make sure to cover the salad with plastic wrap or foil before freezing to preserve freshness.
