Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and slicing the bananas into rounds. Drain the crushed pineapple and cherries. Chop the nuts if they’re not pre-chopped.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the sliced bananas, crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts. Be careful not to mash the bananas.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Add the tub of whipped topping to the fruit mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined. The whipped topping should coat all the ingredients and make the salad
- creamy.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you want to include chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the top and fold them in as well.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to set.
- Serve: Before serving, you can garnish with additional cherries, chopped nuts, and, if desired, crushed graham crackers or crumbled waffle cones for added texture and a nod to the classic banana split presentation.
