Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the lightly beaten eggs and orange juice.
  2. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to scramble the eggs; remove from heat immediately once thickened.
  3. Set the egg mixture aside to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved grapes, drained pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, and halved maraschino cherries.
  5. Once the egg mixture has cooled, fold it into the fruit and nut mixture until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to set.
  7. Serve chilled.
