Fruit Salad?

sarapick99

I received my co-op box today and I have a ton of bananas, strawberries and pears.

We are going to the race tracks on Saturday for a friends birthday picnic. I want to make a fruit salad. What else should I add to it? What fruits compliment bananas and strawberries? Do I add anything besides fruit (like sugar or juice)??

Thanks for your help

Grapes, pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe. I would skip the bananas because they will quickly brown. I like my fruit salad plain, nothing added! That way it stays healthy!

For some reason I tend to separate melon salads and berry/grape salads in my mind.  Not sure why, but if I were doing a fruit salad with strawberries I would probably just add in blueberries and grapes.  Stone fruits would also be good if you can find some nice ripe nectarines or plums.  I agree that the banana would brown quickly and might not be a good choice.

I like apples and peaches in my fruit salads that I make with strawberries and bananas. If you use apples, though, be sure to add a little bit of lemon juice to keep them fresh.

Keep everythin separate until ready to serve.  Sometimes the acid in some of the fruit will sour the taste of the other fruits.
