Fruit Salads: There’s more to Salad than Lettuce Part 2

26 Feb

Another type of fruit salad is a citrus salad. Oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes all make great fruit salad ingredients. Add some additional toppings or elements and who knows you may even have the kids begging for more.

 

These types of salads can have a little bite so add some whipped topping or a brown sugar or honey based dressing to keep those lips from puckering up too much.

 

Exotic fruit salads are making a place on the table these days. Even less known fruits such as pomegranate, papaya, star fruit and kiwi are showing up more and more in local supermarkets. These tasty treats can make a fruit salad stand out both in presentation and taste. And a single kiwi has more Vitamin C than 3 oranges.

 

Fruit salads are easy to make. With the many varieties of fruit available like grapes, cherries, apricots and of course all those berries you can make this type of salad a constant at the table.

 

A fruit salad can be made simple with canned fruits, extravagant with fresh fruits or even fun with dried fruits. No matter which way you decide to go, fruit salads are sure to be hit with everyone, especially once the weather starts to get warmer. They even make a great substitute for dessert if you are watching your weight.
