Tips:

  • Serve the salad immediately: Fresh fruit salads are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. The longer they sit, the more the fruit will oxidize and lose its flavor.
  • Get creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for Pink Lady salad. Some popular options include nuts, seeds, crumbled cheese, and fresh herbs.
