Ingredients

You’ll need the following fresh ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas, sliced
• 1 cup green grapes (whole or halved)
• 1 cup red grapes (whole or halved)
• 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, well drained)
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, well drained)
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey or fresh orange juice (optional, for a light natural glaze)
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Fresh Fruit Salad

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly.

Slice the bananas, halve the grapes if preferred, peel and dice the mango, and drain any canned fruit well to prevent excess liquid.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

Place the bananas, grapes, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and mango into a large serving bowl.

Gently toss the fruit together to distribute the colors evenly without bruising the softer fruit.

Step 3: Add the Glaze (Optional)

For extra flavor and shine, drizzle the fruit with honey or freshly squeezed orange juice.

Lightly toss until every piece is coated.

This simple glaze enhances the natural sweetness without overpowering the fresh fruit.

Step 4: Chill

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Chilling allows the flavors to blend while making the salad even more refreshing.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of color and freshness.

Serve chilled and enjoy.
