What are some good fruit combinations for themed fruit salads?
One of the best things about fruit salad is that it is so versatile and most fruits taste amazing together! If you’re feeling extra festive, you can curate the fruits you use to theme your salads. For example, green grapes, strawberries, kiwis, and raspberries is a perfect combo for a Christmas party whereas orange slices, kiwis and dark purple grapes look spooky at a Halloween party. It may sound silly, but if it’s what brings you joy – mix and match to your heart (or theme’s) content!
Can I make a this ahead of time?
Yes, you can. Wash and cut all of your fruit and store in an airtight bowl. Then, mix the dressing and store separately. Right before you’re ready to serve, mix the dressing into the fruit salad and enjoy immediately!
