Notes

  1. Add any fruit: You can add any fruit you have on hand to this fruit salad! I love to toss in a diced apple, cherries, or banana if I have some in my kitchen.
  2. Double batch: Whether you're making this for a crowd or just to have it as an easy, healthy treat at home, make a double batch to last for a couple of days!
  3. Try different citrus juice: The lime juice in the fruit salad dressing is important as it keeps the fruit fresher for longer, however, you can use any citrus fruit juice like orange, lemon, or pineapple to add some variety.
  4. Store this fresh fruit salad in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Avoid adding bananas, apples, pears, and peaches until serving as they will turn brown.
  5. I love using mint sometimes instead of thyme, or you can skip it completely.
