How do you keep fruit from turning brown in a fruit salad?

Fruits that oxidize easily like bananas and apples can be treated with something acidic to keep them from browning so quickly. Either dress them with a little lemon, lime, or orange juice, or dunk them in a water and lemon juice mixture before adding them to the salad.

To be safe, fruits that turn brown easily or get mushy quickly should be added right before you are ready to serve your fruit salad if possible.
