Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine strawberries, bananas, pears, kiwis, grapes, and pineapple in a large bowl.
- Add Fruit Salad Dressing and stir to coat well.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a splash of citrus juice like lime or orange to enhance the fruits' natural sweetness. You can substitute any of the fruits with seasonal options based on availability, such as peaches or blueberries. If you prefer a sweeter salad, try adding a drizzle of honey or agave syrup. To keep bananas from browning, toss them in lemon juice before adding to the mix.
Serving Suggestions
This multi-fruit salad is perfect for summer picnics or brunch gatherings. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or fish for a refreshing contrast. It pairs beautifully with Blushing Rose Punch for a delightful meal. Consider garnishing with fresh mint or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical flair. For a fun twist, serve in hollowed-out fruit shells.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the freshness of the fruit, avoid adding the dressing until just before serving. If the salad becomes watery, simply drain off excess liquid before serving again. It's best enjoyed cold, so serve it right out of the fridge.
