How to put together Red White and Blue Fruit Salad
Well, it isn't a tough recipe at all. In fact, the longest part will be washing the fruit and chopping it. That is all.
Each fruit will be put in a bowl and mixed together. Then, like that, you will have a colorful fruit salad!
Adding fruit fresh
If you don't want your apples to turn brown if this salad will be at a picnic or not eaten for a while, you may want to coat the apples with Fruit Fresh. I use it when I freeze apples in the fall and it works well. Apples could also be dipped in lemon juice or a lemon lime soda like sprite.
Fruit fresh can be a bit tart, so be sure to sprinkle just a little, according to the package directions.
Is a sweetener needed?
If the fruit is fresh, it won't be necessary to add a sweetener like sugar. However, if desired, you could add a bit of sugar or for another option, honey.
Alternatives
- Raspberries can be used instead of strawberries
- Pears could be used in place of apples
- Concord grapes in place of the blueberries
Leftovers
If you have leftovers, the can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
