How to Serve Fruit Salad

How to Store Fruit Salad
If you have leftovers, store the fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within a day or two to keep the fruit fresh. After that, the fruit may become mushy, losing its great texture.
Tips to Make Fruit Salad
- Use seasonal fruits for the best flavor and freshness.
- Try adding a scoop of yogurt or a sprinkle of granola for more texture and taste.
- If you prefer less acidity, you can skip the lime juice or replace it with a bit of honey.
