Key To Make Best Fruit Salad

The key to making a perfect and tempting salad is to use the best fresh fruits available. Frozen, tinned, sugar-glazed or canned fruits are the biggest enemy of this salad recipe.

I think a good salad deserves an effort to handpick the 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. 

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

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.

FAQ 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 it in the fridge. The citrus acid in the lemon slows downs the browning process of the fruits.

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 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 best 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.

      I usually use Borges Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is best to use extra virgin olive oil for dressings.
