  • 2 apples cut into small cubes
  • 2 bananas sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges peeled and separated

  • Pat them dry with a clean towel.
  • Cut strawberries into quarters or halves.
  • Slice grapes in half for better taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh fruits for the best flavor.
  • Frozen fruits can make the salad watery.

  • This makes eating much easier and nicer.
  • Add bananas right before serving time only.
  • They turn brown if added too early.
  • You can use Greek yogurt for extra protein.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to fruits.
  • This keeps apples and bananas looking fresh.
