Notes

  • Fruit Variations: Feel free to switch out fruits depending on what’s in season or your preferences. Other fruits like bananas, apples, or blueberries can be great additions.
  • Make Ahead: This salad can be made a day before the event and stored in the fridge, making it a perfect dish for busy hosts.
  • Sweetness: Taste the mixture before adding sugar. Some fruits may already add enough sweetness, so you can skip this step if preferred.
  • Add-ins: For added texture, you can include chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon. Adjust the recipe to fit your taste!
