Check out this Creamy Strawberry Banana Salad that I am sharing with you today. It’s so super easy to make and makes for a super side dish or dessert for summer potlucks.
Creamy Strawberry Banana Salad
Last week, I was sharing about my super sale that I found on strawberries. The sale was just too good to pass up. I stocked up and I have been making some seriously easy and delicious summer recipes with all of my inexpensive strawberries. I posted my Easy Strawberry Crisp Recipe. It made for a perfect after dinner dessert for my crew.
One of my favorite flavor combinations is Strawberries and Bananas. I have always liked the two together. I love them both in smoothies and also in my Easy Strawberry Banana Ice Cream. I grabbed a couple of the kids bananas that I had for them for breakfast and combined them to make this Creamy Strawberry Banana Salad. Fruit salads are great during the summer months when fruit is in season. They are great for potlucks and summer BBQ’s because everyone always devours the fruit.
Normally in my fruit salads, I like to use cream cheese but for our Strawberry Banana Salad, I chose to use yogurt and pudding. The combo was perfect. The banana cream pudding added some additional banana flavoring that we all thought was great.
To make this fruit salad, you will need fresh strawberries, bananas, banana cream pudding, vanilla yogurt, vanilla, some lemon juice, and milk. If you only have vanilla pudding, it would work too! You can make the salad in just a few minutes time.

What if you are not a big fan of yogurt, can you sbstitute more pudding instead?
Hi Cheryle! I have not made it with pudding. If you give it a try, let us know. It sounds like it would be just as delicious.
Can I substitute the banana pudding and vanilla yogourt to lemon pudding and lemon yogourt?
Hi Anne! If you like lemon with strawberry, I say go for it! I have only made this strawberry salad with vanilla and banana. So, I can not say how your profile will be. Have a great weekend!
Hi this look great can’t wait to try this. Looking forward
to making it for my next gathering. Thanks
Love the recipe.just need to know which bowl do we put the lemon juice, What size Banana pudding box, What size Dannon yogurt. Can’t wait to make
Hi Dianne! The sized pudding you will use is a 3.4 oz size. YOu will add the strawberries and then the bananas to a bowl. You will then add the lemon juice to the fruit. As for the yogurt, you will need 1 cup of yogurt. I hope that helps. This strawberry salad is delish!
How much are ingredients would you need to make it for at least 50 people
Is this a standard size instant pudding box or the larger?
