Summer Fruit Salad Instructions
Before you combine your fruit, gather your tools. For this recipe, you’ll need:
- A large bowl (preferably with a lid for refrigeration later)
- Large ladle or spoon
That’s it!
1.) Combine Fruit
In your large bowl, combine all fruit using your spoon to gently toss.
Tips
If you’re using canned mandarin oranges, be sure that you drain it of the juice before combining. This will prevent all of the fruit from getting soggy if you have leftovers.
OR
If you know that the salad will be completely eaten at one time, the juice is great for keeping the fruit moist and adding extra flavor.
