Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy fruits: The quality of your salad will greatly depend on the quality of the fruits you use. Make sure to select ripe and juicy pineapples and grapefruits.
  • Use fresh mint or basil: Fresh herbs like mint or basil can add a refreshing flavor to your salad. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can also use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the fruits. Overdressing the salad will make it soggy and bland.
  • Serve chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can either chill it for a few hours before serving or serve it over a bed of ice.
