To make a basic fruit salad, you will need a variety of fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, grapes, and oranges. You can also add in some sliced bananas or apples for extra flavor and texture. Optional ingredients include honey, lime juice, and mint leaves for a dressing.
While fresh fruit is always preferred, you can use canned fruit as a substitute. Just make sure to drain the excess liquid before adding it to your salad. You can also mix fresh and canned fruit together for a more budget-friendly option.
It is best to make a fruit salad the day of serving for optimal freshness. However, you can prepare the fruit and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving. Just wait to add any dressing or dressing ingredients until right before serving.
A simple dressing can be made by mixing together honey, lime juice, and chopped mint leaves. You can also use a store-bought fruit dressing or simply drizzle some honey or agave nectar over the fruit. Alternatively, you can serve the fruit salad with a side of yogurt or whipped cream for a creamy topping.
To make your fruit salad more festive, you can add in seasonal fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, and peaches for a summer-themed salad. You can also use cookie cutters to cut the fruit into fun shapes or add in some dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds for a pop of color. Additionally, serving the fruit salad in a hollowed-out pineapple or watermelon can add a fun and creative touch.
