I love fruit and I love salads, so combining the two just seems logical to me. Fruit salad is one of those things you can literally just throw together and it will taste good. Bananas, oranges, apples, blueberries and whatever else you choose. The options are endless and just as delicious. I just use whatever I have on hand. My son, Cannon loves making fruit salad and if this little man could choose one thing to live off of the rest of his life it would be fruit. Blueberries to be exact. {Well and maybe buttermilk.}
There are so many ways to take your average fruit salad and kick it up a notch and that is all through the dressing. So I went searching for the best of the Best Fruit Salad Recipes. Here is what I found. I can’t wait to try them all. With Colorado being in the upper-60’s all week, I am feeling the urge to make one of these every single day.
Fruit Salad Tips:
- Now to keep your fruit salad from turning brown simply squeeze lemon or lime juice over the freshly cut fruit and toss to coat. This method works well for bananas, pears, and apples. The lemon juice can be fresh or bottles, which I typically have on hand in my fridge. You can also use a product called Fruit Fresh, which works like lemon/lime juice.
- Keep your fruit salad fresh by placing it in airtight containers. When properly stored, fresh fruit salad can last for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Two exceptions are apples and bananas – overall they do not store well for that length of time.
- If your fruit salad is sitting at room temperature do not let it sit out for more than 2 hours. This is 2 hours today, from the minutes you cut and prepare the fruit, serving and eating your fruit salad should not be out more than this.
- Have leftover fruit salad and not sure what to do with it? Place 1 cup serving in individual Ziplock bags, zip shut, and place bags in the freezer. These make great smoothies for later.
Fruit salad is not only a great side dish but also makes a great breakfast and snack. It’s even better when shared. So whether you are having a few friends over, attending a potluck, or celebrating Easter {not too far off} – you can whip one of these Best Fruit Salad Recipes in just a few minutes. Not only are they delicious but your friends and family will be in awe. So tell me, which one are you going to make first?
