Answer 2

I have always liked to make a nice impression and use a glass bowl to layer my fruit salad in. Use whatever you like and what looks good at the market, try to alternate colors. I then drizzle a splash of Cointreau or Triple Sec (use OJ if you are serving kids) over it and top it off with some toasted slivered almonds.

If that doesn't interest you then here are some recipe links:

Answer 4

Prepare your favourite fruits or whatever you have in the house and dress with juice of half to one lemon with 1 - 2 table spoons runny hunny. Do not worry if you do not have runny hunny. Mix with lemon juice and pop in the microwave for 30 secs to melt it down. Toss with the fruit gently and serve. Try some whipped cream or if you are feeling virtuous then you could add some yoghurt. Simple.

Answer 5

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup vanilla yogurt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Answer 7

Try something a bit different ... use fresh blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, cantaloupe balls and watermelon balls ... mix them in a little white wine with sugar added. You can put a 'dollop' of whipped cream on the top, you can 'drain' the fruit, or you can serve it with the 'juice' (kids won't get enough alcohol to get drunk) ... YUM!

Answer 8

anytypes of fruits, cut and into a bowl. if you just want the fruit, leave it just like that. otherwise if you want it a little juicier, add some of that "nectar" fruit juice that you can buy in a can at any grocery store. it looks like a can of soda, but it's a fruit juice. buy a can that has the same flavors of your fruit.

Answer 9

kiwi, strawberry, apples, bananas, and those little marshmallows, and grapes with a Little splash of lemon juice to stop the fruit from browning.

you can also take a bowl of spinach leaves and put a bunch of strawberries and all of the juice in it with walnuts. trust me the strawberry flavor make the bitterness of the spinach Disappear. it tastes soo good.
