Steps
  1. Start by draining the canned pineapple, reserving the juice. Set the drained pineapple aside.

  3. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the reserved pineapple juice and lemon juice. Stir until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool.
  4. Pour the cooled dressing over the mixed fruits and gently toss until evenly coated.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  6. After chilling, stir the salad and serve it in individual bowls or on a platter.
