MY FAVORITE FRUIT SALAD



My Favorite Fruit Salad image

I love fruit... it's my favorite go to snack. Whenever I go to a potluck picnic or brunch I always throw together a huge bowl of this salad and almost never have any left to take home.

Categories     Fruit Sides

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large apples, cored and diced
1 large can pineapple chunks in natural juices (drained)
1 large can peaches in natural juices, (drained) or 4 large peaches pitted and sliced
1 large bunch seedless grapes... red or green
3 - 4 large bananas sliced
2 pound(s) fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
1 pound(s) fresh blueberries
1 jar(s) maraschino cherries, (drained)
1 pint(s) vanilla yogurt
1 cup(s) orangejuice
1 can(s) angel flake cocoanut (optional)
1 package(s) miniature marshmallows (optional)

Steps:

  • in a large serving bowl, mix together all the fruits.
  • blend yogurt and orange juice together and pour over the fruit, mix well
  • can add coconut and marshmallows if you choose... it's good with and without it.
  • * can add other fruits as well... Kiwi is a favorite of mine, as are mandarine oranges, pomagranate seeds, and dried cranberries. Best to use whatever is in season.. this is just the way I usually make it. * this salad is just as tasty without the dressing, and if you choose you can substitute sour cream for the yogurt - if you do though I'd omit the orangejuice.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh, Ripe Fruit: The key to a great fruit salad is using fresh, ripe fruit. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Choose a Variety of Fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits in your salad. The more variety you have, the more interesting and flavorful your salad will be.
  • Cut the Fruit into Even Pieces: This will help ensure that the fruit cooks evenly and doesn't fall apart.
  • Use a Light Dressing: A heavy dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavors of the fruit. Instead, opt for a light dressing, such as a simple syrup or honey-lime dressing.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Fruit salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite fruits. By following these tips, you can make a fruit salad that is packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack or side dish, give fruit salad a try!
