Notes: This vibrant, refreshing fruit salad recipe features a light, citrus dressing. It's perfect for summer BBQ's, picnics, and family gatherings.
Use firm, ripe fruit that is in season for maximum flavor and freshness. Select fruits with a variety of colors and textures. Avoid melons to prevent the salad from getting too watery. For easy eating, slice the fruit so it is all approximately the same size. If using bananas or apples, toss the slices in a little lemon juice to keep them from browning before adding to the salad. You will want to serve the salad immediately. Bananas and apples won’t keep well in the fridge.
This tastes best at room temperature. If you want to serve at a later time, cover and refrigerate. About 30 minutes before you are ready to serve, remove from fridge and bring to room temperature.
