Time 15m

Yield 6-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 fresh cantaloupe
15 ounces dark sweet cherries (1 can or 3 and 1/2 cups fresh)
2 cups seedless grapes (whatever kind you prefer)
2 fresh bananas
2 cups fresh strawberries
1 apple
3 cups marshmallows
8 ounces strawberry yogurt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or "a dash")
1 tablespoon honey (or "a squirt")
2 1/2 cups Cool Whip (10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Chop all fruit into bite sized pieces. You CAN cut the grapes and cherries, but I usually do not.
  • Throw all the fruit into a very large bowl and add cool whip, yogurt, marshmallows.
  • Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and honey.
  • I usually freeze this, but tastes good in the refrigerator, too! Although, fruit doesn't keep as long in refrigerator, and the freezy treat is tastier to me :D.

Number Of Ingredients 11

CITRUS POPPY SEED DRESSING:
12 mandarin oranges, divided (for dressing and salad)
2 cup strawberries, sliced
1 pineapple, cut into bite size chunks
5 kiwi, sliced
3 mangoes, cut into bite size chunks
1 medium lemon
1 lime
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon Gourmet Garden Ginger Paste or fresh grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Wash and dry lemon, lime and 2 mandarin oranges. Zest the washed and dried citrus with a zester or fine grater. Add to 1 cup measuring cup or small bowl. Cut each in half and squeeze the juice into the measuring cup. (You should get about 1/2 cup juice). Add honey, ginger and poppy seeds to juice mixture and whisk until combined. Set aside or place in the refrigerator if serving later. Prepare remaining fruit. Slice strawberries and kiwi. Section remaining oranges. Cut pineapple and mango into bite size chunks. Place fruit in a large bowl. Pour dressing on top of fruit about 30 minutes before serving. Gently toss to coat. Serve and enjoy! Cook's note: This fruit salad is fabulous with whatever you have on hand. I love carambola (star fruit) and papaya in this salad as well. Bananas are lovely, but have to be added at the last minute or they will get soft and not look pretty.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large bananas, sliced
2 lb sliced strawberries
2 can(s) pineapple tidbits, reserve juice
2 pt fresh rasberries
2 pt fresh blueberries
2 can(s) canned mandarin oranges, drained
2 can(s) canned peach chunks, drained
1 bunch seedless grapes, sliced in half
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding

Steps:

  • 1. Drain pineapple and add pudding mix to juice.
  • 2. Stir to combine until mixed well and set aside.
  • 3. Prepare fruit and combine in a LARGE bowl, adding bananas last to avoid browning. [I usually give the bananas a quick soak in lemon juice water]. This makes quite a bit.
  • 4. Pour pudding and juice mixture over all and combine well. Chill and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more colorful and flavorful your fruit salad will be. Some good options include berries, citrus fruits, melons, and stone fruits.
  • Choose ripe fruits: Ripe fruits are sweeter and more flavorful than unripe fruits. When selecting fruits for your salad, look for ones that are brightly colored and have a slight give when you gently press them.
  • Wash the fruits thoroughly: Before cutting the fruits, be sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or bacteria.
  • Cut the fruits into uniform sizes: This will help the fruit salad look more appealing and make it easier to eat.
  • Add a dressing or marinade: A simple dressing or marinade can help to enhance the flavor of the fruit salad. Some good options include a honey-lime dressing, a yogurt-based dressing, or a balsamic vinegar marinade.
  • Chill the fruit salad before serving: Chilled fruit salad is more refreshing and flavorful than warm fruit salad. Be sure to chill the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Fruit salad is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy a variety of fruits. By following the tips above, you can make a fruit salad that is both beautiful and delicious. Fruit salad is a great side dish, dessert, or snack. It is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing treat, be sure to make a fruit salad.
