Notes
Tips and substitutions
Serve this fruit salad with whipped cream or ice cream for a luscious finish.
Change up the fruit! Add in chopped pineapple, cherries, bananas, blueberries, apples, and more.
If you want to add sliced bananas into the salad, mix them in right before serving so they won’t turn brown.
Juice the oranges and lemons yourself if you can! This will help your syrup taste its best.
To make this fruit salad vegan, replace the honey with maple syrup or agave.
Try to cut all of the fruit into evenly sized pieces. This will make for easy eating and a nice presentation.
I don’t recommend using frozen fruit instead of fresh. Once it thaws, frozen fruit turns mushy and has lots of excess liquid. The salad just won’t taste as good.
