Serving and Storage Tips
Serve: Fruit salad is best served fresh and chilled. For a fancy touch, serve it in individual bowls, glasses, or even hollowed-out pineapple halves.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. To keep it fresh, avoid storing it with bananas, as they will brown quickly. A squeeze of citrus juice (lime or lemon) will extend its shelf life.
Variations
Tropical Twist: For a nutritional boost, add shredded coconut or a pinch of chia seeds.
Creamy Variation: For a creamy twist, stir in a few spoonfuls of yogurt or a splash of condensed milk.
Berry Bliss: For an antioxidant-packed variation, add blueberries, raspberries or blackberries.
Nut Delight: For more crunch and protein, sprinkle chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans on top.
Citrus Blast: For more citrus flavor, add grapefruit or tangerines.
