Fruit salads are the perfect way to incorporate fruit into your diet. They are mostly simple to make and delicious too.

They are a great way to take fruit even better or turn fruit that isn’t at its peak into something fabulous. A good fruit salad can also take canned or frozen fruit and make it something wonderful.

Here are a few simple fruit salad ideas:

  1. Mixed Fruit Salad: This is classic is probably what you think of when you think of a fruit salad. All you need is a combination of fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwis, pineapple, oranges, bananas, and blueberries. Cut them up into pieces and mix them all together. If you want to add a little bit of dressing, a drizzle of honey is good. Add a little orange juice to keep the fruit from oxidizing.
  2. Watermelon Salad: If you are looking for a summer fruit salad recipe, this is for you. Simply cut up a fresh watermelon into bite-sized pieces and toss in some fresh mint leaves, feta cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. It’s sweet, savory, and refreshing all at once.
  3. Berry Salad: This one is perfect for berry lovers. Toss strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries into a big bowl. Drizzle it with honey and lemon juice, then mix well. Or leave them as is and top with a little bit of fresh maple whipped cream.

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.

Of course there are all kinds of fun ways to make a fruit salad something even more. There are classic fluff salads and even jello salads with lots of fruit.

So check out this collection of fun fruity recipes, there is something here for every occasion. The only question is, which one will you make first?
