Fruit Salad

Please do not find me too finicky if I tell you I treat all salads, whether fruit salad or vegetable ones, just the same way I would a flower assortment. I always look for a short and sweet selection of colors and textures, never for an indistinguishable everything-but-the-kitchen-sink medley. Furthermore, I make my fruit salads with a salad dressing, just as if it were a greens salad.

Why leave each fruit all by itself when serving an assortment?

Here are some great fruit salad ideas for you: All of them will make fruit eating lots of fun, and will keep well a couple days: Just make sure the fruit salad is nicely covered in its juice. Be sure to serve the fruit salads with their juices.

 Green Fruit Salad

Diced green apples, honeydew, kiwi, green grapes, a little rum or brandy, sliced mint leaves and maple syrup to taste.

Moroccan Orange Fruit Salad

Diced Navel oranges, slivered dates, toasted almonds, orange flower water, cinnamon, a little orange juice, a little mint for garnish

Mixed Berry and Cherry Fruit Salad

 Mixed berries, plums and cherries (try your best for frozen unsweetened fruit: the best!) , mixed with a little pomegranate or cranberry juice, crème de cassis and maple syrup to taste.

Yellow Fruit Salad

Diced apples, pears, cantaloupe, bananas, pineapple, mango, a little rum, a little apple cider, orange juice or pineapple juice, maple syrup to taste.
