I'm going to a family Reunion on Saturday.?

Question

I'm bring a fruit salad any ideas? I know I have to add lemon juice so not to turn brown. Any recipes for a excellent salad would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

If you want simple then I always love to just cut up some really sweet strawberries and put them in a pretty serving bowl with 2 kinds of grapes...or if you want a little more detail this is always a good one:

1 papaya or mango
1 cup strawberries
2 kiwis
1 banana
2 navel oranges
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier, optional
3 to 5 sprigs fresh mint
1 cup raspberries or blueberries

Peel and dice the mango or papaya, and put in a medium bowl. Trim the strawberries' stems and half or quarter, if large. Add to the bowl of fruit. Peel and dice the kiwi, add to bowl. Peel and slice the bananas, add to bowl.
Cut the top and bottom off the oranges just deep enough to expose the inner fruit. Following the curve of the fruit cut the skin and pith off the orange in panels. Holding the orange over the bowl cut between the membranes to free the citrus segments. Let them fall into the bowl as they are cut free. By hand, squeeze all the juice from the remaining membrane over the fruit, then discard. Repeat with the other orange.
Lightly stir the honey and Grand Marnier, if using, into the fruit. Strip the mint leaves off the stem, tear, or chop into smaller pieces, and stir into the fruit salad. Add the berries and set aside for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours

Answer 2

My favorite fruit salad is made up of primarily citrus fruit, segments of oranges (as many varieties as you want, each has it's own flavor), grapefruit, melon balls, grapes, and pecans (I like pecans but walnuts would be just as good). You can also add apples, pears, plums, cherries, any other fruit you want.

You don't need to worry about the lemon juice as the citrus juice comes with the orange and grapefruit.

My family likes it and I never have to take home any leftovers.

Most of all, relax and enjoy the company.

Answer 3

COCONUT FRUIT SALAD

3 bananas
2 Gala apples
1 can of sliced pineapple (in its own juice)
coconut
pecans

Drain pineapple. Slice bananas, apples and pineapple to desired thickness. Combine in a serving bowl.
Add desired amount of coconut and chopped pecans to top it off.

Answer 4

too many people are allergic to certain fruits try something else safe like make a pie or cake a sweet potato pie or 2 would be good with cool whip or two white cakes with cool whip also
