REFRESHING FRESH FRUIT SALAD
This is so simple; it's my favorite fruit salad combination. My grandmother whips this up every holiday and serves it with fresh whipped cream; I like it topped with a sprinkling of granola. So healthy! This is best served about 2 hours after refrigerating. It's good, though, for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but the banana will turn a little soft. (Cooking time is refrigeration, but you can eat it as soon as you prepare it too)

Steps:
- Peel the orange, taking the white pith with it, like you would an apple.
- Slice into the orange along its sections and place in medium bowl.
- After slicing the orange, you should be left with a slim middle part of the orange; squeeze the juice from this section into the bowl.
- Peel and dice the apple into small pieces; immediately place in bowl and coat with orange pieces and orange juice.
- Peel and dice banana; immediately place in bowl and stir to coat (the orange juice will prevent these 2 fruits from turning brown).
- Slice grapes in half and add to mixture.
- Sprinkle with sugar and stir.
- (**Note,I only add the sugar or Splenda if my orange is a little too tart. If it's a sweet orange, you don't need any sugar).
- **I add blueberries to this if they're in season.
AFTER THE PARTY IS OVER! REFRESHING DETOX FRESH FRUIT SALAD
A wonderful brunch recipe for the morning after or when you need an early boost for a busy day ahead; although this is super healthy and refreshing, I have also served this as the dessert dish for a buffet, BUT with champagne as the liquid instead of orange juice! (Just another idea for dressing this fresh fruit salad up with frills!) This is not only healthy, but it is SO festive and colourful - my photo shows the one I made this Boxing Day (26th December), I usually add kiwi fruit too, but we had run out of them.......oooops! My quantities listed here make enough for 6 to 8 people, but this can be increased as well as reduced to suit personal requirements. I normally serve this with crème fraiche or vanilla yoghurt, but it's also wonderful when served "naked", the salad that is, not me! The fruits I have suggested are rich in vitamins and antioxidants for a quick mental boost, as well as a rapid detox to aid recovery after a heavy night or after indulging in rich food, but please do adapt this to your own seasonal and local produce if you wish.

Steps:
- Place all the peeled and prepared fruit chunks, except the pomegranate seeds, into a large glass serving bowl and pour the orange juice over, mix and if necessary, add more orange juice.
- Scatter the pomegranate seeds over the top and serve with low fat crème fraiche or vanilla yoghurt - or just "naked"!
- (Add champagne for a special festive dessert -- but not if you want to serve this detox style!).
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe fruits: The quality of your fruit salad will depend on the quality of the fruits you use. Choose fruits that are in season and at their peak ripeness.
- Variety is key: Use a variety of fruits in your salad to create a colorful and flavorful dish. Some good options include berries, melons, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits.
- Prepare your fruits properly: Before adding your fruits to the salad, wash them thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If you are using fruits that have pits or seeds, be sure to remove them.
- Add a little sweetness: If your fruits are not very sweet, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to the salad. You can also add a splash of fruit juice or flavored syrup.
- Chill your salad before serving: A chilled fruit salad is the perfect refreshing treat on a hot day. Be sure to chill your salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
A fresh fruit salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite fruits. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a fruit salad that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack or dessert, give a fresh fruit salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
