What is a good fruit salad recipes ?

It depends on what type of fruit salad you're looking for. If you want a fresh fruit salad, take watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, mangos, grapes, apples, peaches, Mandarin oranges and mix them all together. If you're looking for a ambrosia type salad, I use fruit cocktail, Mandarin oranges, peaches, grapes, pineapple and add cool whip, and coconut. Yum! Hope this helps.What is a good fruit salad recipes ?

I make a simple, but delicious fruit salad as follows:


Any fresh fruit, except bananas (they turn color quickly)


Cut fruit into small chunks and combine lightly in a large bowl.


Lightly mix in a tub of strawberry gel. (the kind sold by the fresh strawberries at the grocery store)


This salad is delicious and great to take along to picnics or a late night snack. You can also add canned fruit, but be sure to drain juices first. Enjoy!
I dont know about you, but I like apples......

Peel an orange, cut it in slices, cut each slice to small pieces.


Cut strawberries. bananas, apples, apricots. Mix all together, if you like add some blueberries too. Put them in a bowl and add juice of your favorite fruit. I find that adding the juice makes the fruit salad tastier than without.
1 jar Sliced Mangos in simple syrup.


1 package red or green seedless grapes


1 package sliced pineapple


1 package strawberries


1 package raspberries





Rinse the mangos, strawberries, grapes and raspberries in a collander under cold water. (rinsing the mangos removes the syrup).
