Ingredients
  

SALAD:

  • 3 large Gala apples unpeeled, cored, diced (or 4 medium)
  • 3 large pears unpeeled, cored, diced (or 4 medium)
  • 2 cups green seedless grapes halved
  • 2 cups red seedless grapes halved
  • 20 oz. can pineapple chunks drained, but reserve juice (see note below)
  • 11 oz. can mandarin oranges drained
  • lemon juice optional, if needed

CREAM CHEESE DRESSING:

  • 4 oz. pkg. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

SALAD:

  • Drain pineapple and place juice in a small bowl.
  • Dice apples and pears and swish in bowl with reserved pineapple juice.
  • Lay apple and pear pieces on paper towels to drain.
  • Combine apples, grapes, pineapple and mandarin oranges in a salad bowl.

CREAM CHEESE DRESSING:

  • In a separate bowl, beat the dressing ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Pour salad dressing over top of fruit; toss ingredients gently to coat.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

NOTE: If there is not enough juice from the pineapple to toss the diced apples, use some lemon juice instead.
 
NOTE: I actually swished the apples and pears in pineapple juice and then swished them again in lemon juice to prevent browning, since I made this several hours before serving.
