How to Make Fruit Salad (Perfect)

With fresh fruits and juicy, sweet dressing, this mouth-watering bowl will catch your expressions. Let's start preparing for this.

Ingredients

Fruits (Choose a mix of fresh, seasonal fruits):

• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

• 1 cup blueberries

• 1 cup diced pineapple

• 1 cup diced mango

• 1 banana, sliced

• 1 apple, diced

• 1 cup seedless grapes (halved if large)

• 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced

Dressing (Optional):

• Juice of 1 orange

• Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime

• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh mint leaves

• Chia seeds or shredded coconut

• Yogurt or whipped cream for serving

Before We Start

Use Fresh, Ripe Fruits:
Choose fruits that are in season for the best flavor and texture.

Cut Uniformly:
Dice or slice fruits into similar-sized pieces for even mixing and easier eating.

Prevent Browning:
Toss fruits like apples and bananas in a little citrus juice (lemon, lime, or orange) to prevent browning.

Chill Before Serving:
Refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Avoid Watery Fruits:
If using watermelon or other juicy fruits, add them just before serving to prevent the salad from getting soggy.

Step 1: Wash all the fruits (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, mango, banana, apple, seedless grapes, kiwi). Slice, halve, hull, and dice them after washing clearly.

Step 2: Peel and dice fruits like pineapple, mango, and kiwi. Hull and slice the strawberries. Slice or dice bananas and apples just before mixing to keep them fresh.
