Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruits. The better the fruit, the better the salad will be. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
- Use a variety of fruits. This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include grapes, berries, melon, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits.
- Don't overdo it on the dressing. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately. Fruit salads are best when they are served fresh. The longer they sit, the more likely the fruit is to get soggy.
