Fruit Salad
Description
The Fruit Salad features a diverse mix of fruits, several of which are drained canned varieties such as apple pie filling, pineapple tidbits, pears, peaches, mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries. Grapes and fresh bananas add freshness and texture variation. The assembled salad is gently tossed to combine the flavors, and the bananas are sliced and coated with lemon juice before folding in to prevent discoloration.
This medley creates a sweet and slightly tart profile, with the soft textures of the canned fruits balanced by the firmer grapes and banana slices. It can be served as a refreshing side dish or light dessert, chilled and ready to enjoy.
The salad keeps well stored covered in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it convenient for meal prepping or parties. Adding the bananas just before serving maintains their freshness and keeps the overall texture appealing.
