Need: Non-Boring Fruit Salad Recipe

GO!

 It needs to be semi quick and easy too. No carving a watermelon to look like a basket for this girl just yet. It's for a work picnic on Sunday.

Re: Need: Non-Boring Fruit Salad Recipe

  • I've never followed a recipe for fruit salad. I just go to the grocery store and find some fruit I like (grapes (no seeds!), apples, strawberries, raspberries, pear, and a melon), then take them home and cut them up. Put them all in a big mixing bowl (we have one with a lid) and fill with orange juice to the top of the fruit. It's simple and easy. Edit: And it might be a little boring... but it tastes delicious.
  • Very easy :

    cool whip

    sour cream

    grapes, strawberries

    brown sugar and almond

     

    Usually I just use whatever cool whip I have and add some sour cream cut grapes and strawberries. I have done it with Kiwi also. add a little brown sugar and sliced almonds. Refrigerate till cold. 

    Or you could do a jello fruit salad.

  • Ambrosia!  If you google it you'll see that there are many different recipes.  I've never made it myself, but my mom always used to and I imagine it's what a cloud would taste like.  It's DELICIOUS!

  • Eh, I'd be lazy and just cut up the fruit like normal, and then bring chocolate sauce to pour on top. Chocolate makes up for boring.

    This. Or add vodka, but since this is for work vodka might not be the way to go.

    HA! I should have said "serve it in a pitcher of sangria." Naked. Except it's a work function, so just MAKE it naked,

  • I'm addicted to pinterest so I always just search on there - you might find a really simple, yummy recipe.

  • I'm boring when it comes to fruit salad, but I think most people like it better that way. Mine usually has watermelon, cantelope, honeydew, pineapple, blueberries, grapes, strawberries and anything else that looks extra yummy.

    I used to go to a coffee place that made awesome fruit salads. They had all the fruit in it then they drizzled yogurt and honey and sprinkled granola and toasted coconut on it. It was to die for!

    Oh my! This is so delicious from what I've heard. But, I love vodka. :)

    Now I need sangria. Yes, need, not want.

  • Thanks ladies. I will never make anything with chocolate as I don't like it.

    I completely forgot about pinterest for this. Duh.

    I could totally use alcohol in this for work. All of our functions have alcohol.

    CHOICE OVERLOAD!

  • I'd say go on pinterest- I never add anything to my fruit salad- I just have cut up fruit. But I have a variety of fruit- including Ugli Fruit
  • Maybe get some really unique fruit.  I don't know if you have Wegmans where you live, but they always have some cool & different fruits.  In high school my BFF and I would have "exotic fruit night" and just go get a bunch of weird fruits and try them.  It was so fun!

  • Thanks ladies. I wound up making a "boring" one but it was delicious. Just some cantelope, watermelon, red/green grapes and blueberries. It was actually a huge hit!
