Notes
If you're preparing a fruit salad for a meal, make sure that the fruits are similar in size and shape. While a fruit salad can be made with any type of fruit, it's best if the ripe fruit is sweet. Often served as a side dish, a fruit salad is healthier when eaten with other food. But if you don't have access to fruit, you can always buy some fresh fruit at the grocery store.
