- Cut fruits into bite-sized pieces: This makes the fruit salad easier to eat and ensures that each bite has a variety of fruits.
- Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more flavorful and interesting your fruit salad will be. Try to include a mix of sweet, tart, and juicy fruits.
- Add some crunch: Adding crunchy elements like chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes adds texture and interest to the fruit salad.
- Use fresh herbs for added flavor: Fresh herbs like mint or basil can add a refreshing touch to your fruit salad.
- Make a creamy dressing: A creamy dressing can help bind the fruit salad together and add richness and flavor. You can use a simple dressing made with yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, or try a more complex dressing made with coconut milk, lime juice, and ginger.
