DEE'S FABULOUS FRUIT SALAD

Steps:
- 1. 1/2 hour before you start making the salad, open and drain the pineapple and oranges in a strainer separately. Let drain for 30 minutes to get all excess juice out. (I use the juice in the punch we make every holiday)
- 2. In a large bowl thoroughly cream the creamed cheese. Add pineapple, coconut, and marshmallows. Stir together then gently stir in oranges so they don't break up (like they did in my pic). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time. Enjoy!
FABULOUS FRUIT SALAD
Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, combime all ingredients. Chill until ready to serve. Makes 4 servings.
- Utilize a Variety of Fruits: Include a diverse range of fruits in your salad to create a symphony of flavors and textures. Berries, citrus fruits, tropical fruits, and stone fruits are all excellent options.
- Consider Seasonal Fruits: Opt for fruits that are in season as they are typically at their peak of freshness and flavor. This approach also supports local farmers and reduces the environmental impact of transportation.
- Choose Colorful Fruits: Incorporate vibrant and colorful fruits to make your salad visually appealing and inviting. The array of colors will also provide a variety of nutrients.
- Balance Flavors: Aim for a harmonious balance of sweet, sour, and tangy flavors. Combine sweet fruits like berries and grapes with tangy fruits like citrus and kiwi. You can also add a hint of sourness with fruits like pineapple or passion fruit.
- Prepare Fruits Properly: Wash and dry the fruits thoroughly before cutting them. Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution and easy eating.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Enhance the flavor of your salad by incorporating fresh herbs like mint, basil, or cilantro. Herbs add a refreshing touch and elevate the overall taste.
- Use High-Quality Honey or Syrup: If your recipe calls for a sweetener, opt for high-quality honey or natural syrup. These natural sweeteners provide a refined sweetness without overpowering the delicate flavors of the fruits.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate your fruit salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This step allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the refreshing nature of the dish.
