In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
Fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, banana slices, and green grapes to the pudding mixture. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Fold in the mini marshmallows and optional chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of nuts if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
