Recipe Tips

  • You can pop this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes just before serving to chill the fruit.
  • The citric acid from orange juice (or lemon juice) in the dressing will help to keep any fruit from browning. You could also use pineapple juice.
  • Prep Ahead: If you want to prep ahead, chop your fruits but store them separately until just before serving. This will keep everything fresh.
  • You can also try other fruits like raspberries, mango, apple, watermelon etc.

How To Store Leftovers

  • Refrigerate - I recommend enjoying this fruit salad the same day you make it. It really keeps its freshness that way—nobody likes a soggy fruit salad, right?
