Steps

Method 1 of 5: Simple Fruit Salad

1. 1 Choose fruit. Buy good fresh fruits and berries from the market or your local grocery store. Make sure they are ripe enough for a salad. If they are not ripe, then the salad will be difficult to chew. It's better to keep the fruit a little overripe than unripe so the flavors blend well. For a simple fruit salad, you will need strawberries, cherries, blueberries, red apples, peaches, and kiwis.
2. 2 Wash fruits and berries. It's important to wash all the fruit before chopping it up for salad.
3. 3 Cut the cherries in half. To prevent cherry pits in the salad, chop 1 cup of red cherries before adding them to the salad. Just cut each berry in half and remove the pit.
4. 4 Chop strawberries, red apple, peach, kiwi. Place 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup cherries, 1/2 red apple, 1/2 peach and 1 kiwi fruit on a cutting board and cut them into small pieces about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in size.
5. 5 Place the fruit in a bowl. The bowl can be pre-moistened with 2 tbsp. l. lemon juice to add flavor to the fruit and prevent it from oxidizing quickly. Place strawberries, chopped cherries, 1/2 red apple, 1/2 peach, 1 kiwi, and 1/2 cup blueberries in a bowl. The fruits in the bowl can be stirred slightly to blend the flavors.
6. 6 Serve. This dish can be served at room temperature or slightly chilled. A glass of orange juice will work well with the salad - it will help the fruity aroma emerge.

Tips

• If you are making an apple salad, add lime juice to it or keep the salad in the refrigerator to prevent the apples from darkening.
• Bananas darken quickly.If you don't expect to eat all of your cooked salad at once, cut up the bananas and drizzle a little lemon juice over them before mixing them with the rest of the ingredients.
• To make a fruit cocktail salad, use 1-2 cups of good orange juice and 3 tbsp. l. up to 1/3 cup sugar, depending on the number of servings you want to make.
• Use a variety of slicing methods to give your fruit salad a distinctive and appealing look. Make round, square, oval pieces. Take small cookie cutters and cut different shapes of fruit with them. Children can be involved in this fun activity.
• If you have a watermelon, make a salad bowl out of it - cut the watermelon lengthwise a few centimeters further from the center, remove the pulp from it with a spoon, then put the prepared salad in it. If desired, the second part of the watermelon can be used as a lid.
• Try to choose fruits with a similar texture but different colors.
• Not sure which fruits go best with each other? Do not worry! Take several types of fruits and you will get great taste. As a general guideline, berries go well with anything, strawberries and kiwis tend to be paired, and tangerines add flavor to any food.
• To prevent the fruits in the salad from darkening, you can add peeled and chopped oranges to it instead of lemon.

Warnings

• Cut fruit with care - careless handling of the knife can cause serious injury. In fact, sharp knives are safer. The sharper the knife, the less likely it will slip off and cut yourself!
• Wash the fruit thoroughly before preparing the salad to remove any chemical residues from it.
• Find out if your guests have food allergies.
• Be sure to remove seeds from fruits like watermelon.
