Notes
Substitutions and Variations
-Use whichever in season, fresh fruit you have on hand such as: raspberries; peaches; cherries; mangoes; watermelon or others.
-If you happen to have store bought orange juice in your refrigerator, you may use that instead of juicing 2 oranges.
-If you wish to add bananas to your fruit salad, do so just before serving.
-A few fresh mint leaves may be added to your fruit salad for extra flavor. More tips -Use ripe fruit for the best results but not overly ripened fruit which will become soft.
-Cut all fruit roughly the same size.
-Do not add frozen fruit which will quickly become mushy. Storage -Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
