About Fruit Salads
Fruit salad combines chopped fresh fruit like berries, melon, apples, citrus and grapes. A squeeze of lemon or lime and a little honey or mint can lift the flavor. Some versions add yogurt or a creamy dressing.
Unlike other salads in this section, fruit salads are sweet and rarely use savory dressing. They can be a side, a snack or a dessert. They are best fresh, while slaws and pasta salads often improve with time.
Questions folks ask
How do I stop apples from browning?

Can I make fruit salad ahead?

What can I add for extra flavor?
Fresh mint, honey, lime zest or a little vanilla yogurt are nice.
