    Ingredient Notes

    Here are a few popular substitutions and additions for this recipe:

    Other ideas for fruit to add or substitute: blackberries, green grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, papaya.

    Honey: swap this out for your preferred sweetener. Maple syrup or agave are a couple examples of alternatives.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How should I serve fruit salad?

    If you're serving this fruit salad at a gathering, set it out in a large serving bowl with a spoon for guests to dish out their own portions.

    Fruit salad is also tasty as a snack (kids love it too!) or as a healthy side dish for your favorite dinners.

    Can I make fruit salad with frozen fruit?

    No, this recipe should be made with only fresh fruit. The texture of frozen fruit becomes too mushy and watery.

    How do I cut the mangos for this recipe?

    You'll want to peel and dice your mangos for this recipe. Here's a quick YouTube video that's helpful for how to do this.

    How do I know if my mangos are ripe?

    Don't use the color of a mango to tell if it's ripe (this can vary). Instead, press on it gently to see if it 'gives' a little bit. It should feel soft instead of completely firm. The area near the stem should also smell fruity/sweet.

    How to Store Leftovers

    Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 - 4 days.

    The textures of this salad are best within a day of making it (after that it's still good but might become a little mushy).

    How to Make it Ahead of Time

    To make this salad ahead of time, prepare and mix your fruit and store it in a large airtight container in the fridge. Then make your dressing and store it separately in the fridge.

    Mix the dressing with the fruit immediately before serving or up to 2 hours before serving.
