Variations
There are no rules when it comes to fruit salad recipes, so feel free to make this version your own! You can use your favorite fruits, use what you already have in the fridge, or add any of these suggestions:
More stone fruit – Turn this into a stone fruit salad by swapping some of the berries for more stone fruits, AKA any fruit with a pit or “stone” in the middle. Apricots, nectarines, or plums would all be delicious! Check out this list of stone fruits from AllRecipes for even more ideas. Add pears or apples – Diced green or red Anjou pears and Honeycrisp apples will give this salad a tart and crunchy bite. Add melon – Like watermelon, cantaloupe, or honeydew! For a tropical twist – Mix in diced mango, pineapple, or bananas. Instead of kiwi – Use green or purple grapes. Creamy vegan fruit salad – Stir 2 or 3 dollops of vegan yogurt or vegan Cool Whip with the lime agave dressing for a creamy twist. Use lemons – Feel free to swap the limes for lemons in the dressing.
