Tips for Best Fruit Salad
-
Use ripe, in-season fruit for maximum sweetness.
-
Add berries or citrus last to avoid sogginess.
-
Can add a splash of orange juice or yogurt for variety.

Kids’ version: add mini marshmallows or a dollop of yogurt

Nutty crunch: sprinkle toasted almonds or walnuts on top
If you want, I can also make a dressing variation that makes it taste like a dessert parfait. Do you want me to?
