Pro-Tips for the Best Fruit Salad
-
Add Citrus Last: The acid in lime or lemon juice helps prevent fruits like apples or bananas from browning, but it can also make softer berries get “mushy” if they sit too long.
-
Drain the Juice: If using canned pineapple or oranges, drain them well so the salad doesn’t become a “fruit soup.”
-
Chill Before Serving: Let the dressed fruit sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
