Fruit Salad...

How do you make your fruit salad....it doesnt seem rocket science, but once I made it, and it was awful....( I think I used the wrong fruit).  I need to bring this for a little baby shower Im going to....Thanks so much.

I put blackberries, strawberries, grapes, raspberries, kiwi, sometimes banana, raspberries, blueberries and pineapple in mine.  I think it's best when the fruit is at peak flavor.

Poppy Lime Fruit - this is so easy to throw together and the dressing gives it a little "oomph."  It goes great on almost any fruit mix and I always have people asking for the recipe!

The best thing is to try and pick fruits that are in season right now...they're more fresh and have better flavor!  Frozen fruits work as well if there's something that you can't find.

First, don't add fruit that gets mushy until right before you serve it.

I do honeydew, cantalope, grapes, pineapple, apple, strawberries, blueberries. I always add strawberries last.

I would leave out bananas.

I've started doing fruit trays- melon, pineapple, grapes, strawberries, whatever looks good.  I pile like fruit with like fruit and add a dipping sauce.  People can pick what they like then.

Strawberries, watermelon, honey dew, blueberries, peaches, banana, walnuts...I think that's it.. I made this Watermelon Baby Carriage for my cousins baby shower.. it was a big hit

IMO which fruit you pick is only about 10% of it, the other 90% is the quality of the fruit you pick. Ask someone in your produce department to help you if you're not sure what's ripe. (and when in doubt, if it smells good, it's probably good!)

I like strawberries, pineapple, clementines, grapes, and sometimes cantaloupe.  Fruit salad = yum!

It's so funny you posted this, because I was talking about fruit salad with a friend and they were like apples, oranges, bananas, and I was like what kind of crappy fruit salad is that?! haha.

I always make mine with watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries.  Sometimes I add raspberries or blackberries. Sometimes ?'ll add pineapple or honeydew. Occasionally mango, kiwi or star fruit.
