Perfect Summer Fruit Salad Recipe

Absolutely incredible! I followed the recipe without any alterations, using organic fruit and green seedless grapes. Every single bite of this fruit salad was devoured. I believe adding cubed melon, along with raspberries and blackberries, would make it even more fantastic.

I prepared this dish yesterday for a party and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. I followed the recipe exactly as written, with one exception - instead of layering it, I mixed all the ingredients together and it turned out beautifully. The syrup was delicious as well. We had about 70 guests at the picnic and people kept coming back for more. I made a larger portion than the recipe called for, and it still disappeared quickly. Definitely a recipe worth keeping! I wish I could give it more stars. I prepped everything the night before, except for the bananas, and even made the sauce ahead of time. A few hours before serving, I tossed everything together and added the bananas. The end result was absolutely delicious.

I prepared this fruit salad for a baptism luncheon and it was a hit! The presentation was beautiful and the salad itself was delicious. I was initially concerned about making it the night before fearing the fruit would brown or become mushy. However, I decided to prepare the sauce in advance (which turned out to be delicious) and let it simmer longer for a thicker consistency before refrigerating it. While the sauce was simmering, I pre-cut all the fruit (except the bananas) and stored them in individual baggies. I opted for cuties instead of oranges for a prettier look and because we love these little oranges. The next morning, I cut up the bananas, layered everything in a trifle bowl as instructed, drizzled the sauce on top, and covered it with plastic wrap. It turned out perfect! I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for the great recipe!

I prepared this dish for a 4th of July celebration and ended up winning the Top Chef title! I made two slight adjustments to the recipe - I allowed the fruit to marinate in the juices overnight and instead of serving it traditionally, I scooped the fruit into waffle cones at the party.

Quadrupled the recipe to cater to a big gathering - yes, I made it four times the original amounts. The reactions from the guests were unbelievable. Almost all of it was devoured, with just a small amount left in the bottom of the bowl. I was so impressed that I ended up making it again just for my family. This time, I even doubled the dressing, which turned out to be a perfect decision as we served the fruit mixture over dessert cakes topped with whipped cream. Absolutely delicious!

I have followed this recipe multiple times, sticking to the instructions exactly. It turned out to be delightful and was a hit with everyone! For a work lunch, I tweaked it by using diced apples instead of grapes since one of my colleagues dislikes grapes. Surprisingly, I found this variation even more enjoyable. Plus, the leftover dressing in the bowl pairs amazingly well with vodka. Just a friendly tip!

I made a delicious fruit salad dressing using fresh pineapple juice (non-heavy syrup), 4 tablespoons of local honey, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. I mixed everything together without cooking, then added it to the fruit and refrigerated it. Throughout the chilling process, I would occasionally take it out to gently mix and fold the juices from the bottom, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.

I used 4 kiwis, 4 bananas, 1 pound of strawberries, a moderate amount of grapes (filling up the bowl almost entirely), and 11 ounces of blueberries. I opted for 1 cup of orange juice, added an extra 1/8 cup of lemon juice, but stuck to 1 teaspoon of vanilla. For the next batch, I am planning to toss the fruits together instead of layering them. Overall, it's a great recipe.

I prepared this salad for a Mother's Day brunch with my family. I must admit that I increased the amount of sugar since the fruit I used wasn't very sweet. Although the sauce didn't thicken as expected, the salad turned out delicious, and there wasn't a single bite left. For my next attempt, I plan to incorporate gelatin or cornstarch into the sauce for a better consistency.

Perfect! I brought this dish to a 4th of July BBQ and it was a hit! I omitted bananas and included fresh mandarin oranges, some juicy peaches, and blackberries. It was absolutely delicious!

Is it possible to prepare the fruit and sauce in advance, refrigerate them overnight, and then assemble everything in the morning for an afternoon gathering?

Absolutely adore this! It's perfect for summer! 😋 So delicious, thank you for sharing this! 😊

This fruit salad has quickly become a top favorite among my family. While I enjoy switching up the fruit selection from time to time, I always stick to the original citrus sauce recipe without any alterations. It's a definite keeper that we love making on repeat!

I brought this dish to a women's retreat at church, and it was a hit with everyone. I forgot to add the bananas because I was worried about them turning brown, but it was still delicious. Next time, I'll use less orange juice and maybe more brown sugar to make it even better. A fantastic dish that pleased the whole crowd.

Super excellent!

Fun and effortless - highly enjoyable!

This summer salad has instantly become my top choice! It stole the show at the BBQ. If you decide to whip up this salad, I strongly suggest tripling the recipe. Trust me, the extra effort is well worth it. You'll have everyone singing praises about this salad.

In Australia, we love creating refreshing fruit salads using a variety of summer fruits. Our simple recipe involves squeezing fresh mango juice and passionfruit pulp over the fruits, without any additional sauces. It's a quick and delicious way to enjoy the abundance of summer fruits. In my household, we always have a colorful fruit salad ready in the fridge during the summertime.

The sauce is absolutely delicious! Make sure not to overlook it. I prepared it the day before and layered it in the middle, reserving most of it for the top as per the recipe instructions. Using a variety of fruits can add up in cost, but I will definitely be making this again because it's totally worth it.
