Best Tips
The best way to make fresh fruit salad is to go to a co-op, roadside stand or farmer's market to
pick the fruit fresh — if there is one in your area. If not, pick a variety of fruit in season. Really
any fruit can be used in a fruit salad. Besides the well-known homegrown variety, don't overlook
cherries, raspberries, blackberries, figs, nectarines, plums, mangoes, pomegranates, papayas,
pears and mandarins.
You should have at least 4-5 fruits in the salad. Think of the tastes and the colors and how they
complement each other. For example, watermelon, cantaloupe, green grapes, pears and peaches
make a nice mix. Really there is no right or wrong way to make it.
Buy the fruit just before the party, preferably the day before because most fresh fruit only has a
shelf life between 2-5 days. Most fruits (but not all) are stored in the fridge, but away from other
veggies, especially because they can absorb stronger smells like garlic and onion.
Before you begin, the first thing to do is to clean the fruit well under cold water to remove any
dirt or residue, and dry it well with paper towels. Peel, seed and cube the fruit into bite-size
pieces or use a melon baller. Just as an FYI: apples and pears brown once you cut them. Keeping
the skins on will help. Bananas get a little mushy, so add bananas, apples and pears last.
Use a glass bowl to keep the fruit fresher than plastic. Placing the bowl on top of two ice cube
trays will keep it colder if it is hot outside. Once you have added all of the fruit, gently toss it.
Also, keep the salad fresh by adding 1/2 cup of citrus juice — like pineapple, orange, grapefruit
or lemon — at the end. The citrus works like a preservative. Store the salad in the fridge until
you are ready to serve it. Garnish with edible flowers or orange rinds.
Finish off the fruit salad by adding great toppings before serving. Some yummy choices are
whipped topping, ice cream, vanilla pudding or yogurt. Sprinkle some wheat germ, crushed
cereal, coconut, chopped nuts, walnuts or almonds on top. Or use a fruit dip recipe, like fruit-
flavored cream cheese mixed with marshmallow cream and blended with whipped cream. It's
easy and tastes better than the store bought.
