I love just about any fruit salad mix, but this one in particular is a combo I keep coming back to over and over again. It includes a couple not-so-secret ingredients đŸ˜‰ that really bring all the flavors together and take this Best Ever Fruit Salad to a whole new level. Can’t wait for you to give it a try!
As I mentioned, there are a couple ingredients I’ve included to bring all the flavors of the different fruits together nicely and really punch up the freshness + flavor. The orange juice really melds the different flavors together and helps keep the fruit fresh and the apple from browning. The mint leaves give another punch of flavor and really amp up the overall crisp taste of the fruit salad.
A few quick tips to keep in mind as you put together your fruit salad:
- Cut up the fruits into similar-sized, uniform pieces for the best experience.
- As you are mixing up the fruit salad, ensure that the proportions of each fruit are fairly even so you don’t have an imbalance of one fruit.
- Feel free to sub fresh squeezed orange juice or store-bought.
- This will keep in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days.
This one is quick + easy, so let’s dive right in!
