PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

Categories     Frozen Desserts

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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, seasonal fruits: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your fruit salad.
  • Use a variety of fruits: This will add visual appeal and flavor to your salad. Some good combinations include berries, citrus fruits, tropical fruits, and stone fruits.
  • Prepare your fruits properly: This means washing, peeling, and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add some sweetness: If your fruits are not very sweet, you can add some honey, sugar, or agave syrup to taste.
  • Add some tartness: If your fruits are too sweet, you can add some lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice to balance out the flavor.
  • Add some crunch: This could include chopped nuts, seeds, or granola.
  • Add some creaminess: This could include yogurt, cottage cheese, or whipped cream.
  • Chill your fruit salad before serving: This will help to keep it refreshing and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Fruit salad is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing snack or side dish. It is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vitamins.
