Fruit Salad is a gluten-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly healthy salad recipe bursting with summer flavors. This no-cook, one bowl, rainbow summer salad needs only 20 minutes in the kitchen. It is one of the best ways to eat tons of summer fruits and berries.

Healthy Salad Recipes like this one are the bae for the summer season. With the spring season approaching the supermarket is loaded with colorful fresh berries, fleshy fruits and a few batches of ripe mangoes here and there. Best time of the year to make and enjoy a fresh salad. 

Key To Make Best Fruit Salad…

The key to making a perfect and tempting salad is to use the best of fresh fruits available. The frozen, tinned, or canned fruits are the biggest enemy of this salad. The fruits dipped in an artificial flavor and glazed with a sweet syrup are not the right ingredients for this recipe.

I think a good salad deserves an effort to handpick the fresh fruits from the market. It brings so much joy in buying the favorite fruits and then turn them into a gorgeous bowl of hearty salad. 

Choosing Fruits: From fresh seedless berries (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry), a variety of apples, oranges, grapes, melons, to the dragon fruit, or any other summer fruit is a perfect choice for this salad recipe.

Chopped Summer Fruits For Salad

Salad Dressing…

The dressing for the fruit salad has to be simple. Because we want the natural sweetness and the tanginess of the fruits to shine out. Let’s not overshadow the naturally good taste of the fruits with a loaded dressing (also read: 6 Best Salad Dressing Recipes).

A simple, gluten-free, vegan, healthy lemon and honey syrup is the best dressing for this salad. And of course, the fresh mint leaves add just the right breath of freshness to the salad – making it altogether more pretty and delightful.  

Serving Suggestions…

You can serve a fruit salad with:

vanilla ice-cream

whipped vanilla cream

coconut cream

pancakes/crepes/waffles

FAQ’s Related To Fruit Salad

How do you keep fruit salad from turning brown?

The browning or blackening of certain chopped fruits like apple or banana is the main problem most of us face while making a salad with fruits.

The best solution to avoid that is to drizzle lemon juice on fruits, cover the bowl with a cling foil/lid and keep in the fridge. The citrus acid in the lemon slows downs the browning process of the fruits. Hence, preventing the fruits from turning brown for the next few hours. 

Can I make fruit salad the day before?

Unlike other salad recipes, it is not recommended to make a salad with fruits the day before. After peeling and chopping, most of the fruits retain their freshness, juiciness, and texture for the next few hours only. And trust me, nobody likes to eat a soggy or mushy salad with fruits.

Hence, you can make it a few hours before serving but not the day before. 

Can I use frozen fruits for the salad?

For a fresh, crunchy salad, it is not advised to use frozen fruits. Try using fresh, ripe, and firm to touch fruits for the best results. Frozen fruits might turn up mushy and leech water in the salad.
