Notes
Tips Add apples last or toss them in lime juice to keep them from browning. Make sure all fruit is rinsed and dried thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. This salad is best served fresh but can be prepped a few hours ahead.
Storage Store leftover chopped fruit salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The fruit will soften slightly but still taste great.
Freeze This dish is not freezer-friendly.
Reheat: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Reheating is not required.
Substitutions
- Kiwi: Try mango or orange segments for a tropical flavor.
- Honey: Use agave or maple syrup.
- Grapes: Swap for pitted cherries or blackberries.
