Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe

Ingredients You’ll Need

 

2 ripe bananas, sliced

 

 

 

1 cup green grapes, whole or halved

 

 

 

1 cup red grapes, whole or halved

 

 

 

1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)

 

 

 

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

 

 

 

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (optional but delicious)

 

 

 

1 tablespoon honey or orange juice (optional, for natural glaze)

 

 

 

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

 

 

 

Step 1: Wash & Prep

 

Wash all fruits thoroughly under cold water. Peel bananas and mango, then slice or dice as needed. Drain canned fruit if using.

 

 

 

Step 2: Combine

 

Place all the fruits into a large mixing bowl. If using honey or orange juice for a natural glaze, drizzle it over the top.

 

 

 

Step 3: Toss Gently

 

Using a soft spatula or spoon, gently toss everything until well mixed. Be careful not to mash the bananas.

 

 

 

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

 

Top with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes for a cooler experience.

 

 

 

Tips & Variations

 

Add strawberries or blueberries for a berry boost.

 

Squeeze lemon juice over banana slices to prevent browning.

 

Swap in apples or kiwi for extra crunch and color.

 

Add a pinch of chopped basil or mint for a gourmet twist.

 

 

 

How to Store Fresh Fruit Salad

 

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid keeping too long once bananas are added, as they brown quickly.

 

 

 

To prep in advance, cut and store all fruits except bananas. Add bananas just before serving.
