Fresh fruit salad is always a good move 🍓🍍 Light, juicy, and flexible. Here’s a bright, no-mayo, no-nonsense version that lets the fruit shine—plus a couple easy upgrades.
🍉 Fresh Fruit Salad
Ingredients (use what you love)
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cups grapes (red or green), halved
- 2 cups melon (cantaloupe or honeydew), cubed
- 2 kiwis, peeled & sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
Simple Citrus Dressing (optional but 🔥)
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional: pinch of salt (trust me)
Whisk together.
Instructions
- Prep and cut fruit into similar-size pieces.
- Add to a large bowl.
- Drizzle lightly with dressing (or skip it for pure fruit flavor).
- Toss gently.
- Chill 15–30 minutes before serving.
🌿 Flavor Boost Ideas
- Fresh mint or basil, finely chopped
- Lime zest for extra pop
- Sprinkle of shredded coconut
- For adults: splash of orange liqueur or rum 😏
🚫 Fruit Salad Don’ts
- No bananas (add last if you must)
- No apples unless tossed in lemon
- Don’t overdress—fruit makes its own juice
If you want, I can tailor this for:
- Brunch
- BBQ / cookout
- Kids
- Tropical vibe
- No-sugar-added
