I've had one that had a lot of canned and frozen fruit that I liked. I know it had Mandarin Oranges, pineapple, strawberries and some other stuff. I could just make up one but thought some of you guys might have a good one. Fruit Salads are usually very low in sodium so it should fit in my diet.

I love fruit salads - and I make them from fresh, frozen or canned fruits (usually the pineapple is from a can and the mandarin oranges).
I don't measure and I just eyeball it using any type of fruit that I want.
Sometimes I will serving it in a "cloud" of whipped cream, pudding of choice, dairy topping or over jello squares. I love it served in a cloud of tart lemon pudding!
And I've even sprinkled flavored jello over whipped cream/topping to add a bit of flavor.
Sometimes I'll combine melons, berries, etc. and then I will scoop a spoon of sliced strawberries in sugar (like you use for strawberry shortcake) over the top. And in a cloud of orange sherbet! I'm in heaven! Top with maraschino cherries!

Thanks Mama. I think I could just "wing-it" but I wanted to know the base (or juice) which I believe is something canned and non-drained such as chunk pineapple or something.

I know I'm not much help in that department - I drain all the fruit and use a topping as a base (cloud) or a fruit sauce to top it.
