Fruit Salad Tips and Tricks
Bananas: Add banana slices last. Bananas tend to brown quickly. Add them just before serving to keep your salad looking fresh and appetizing.
Dressing: If you want a tangier dressing, add more lime juice. For extra sweetness, drizzle in a little more honey.
Storage Instructions
To maximize freshness, store the fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the honey lime dressing separate and add just before serving to preserve the fruit’s texture and flavors. If storing for longer, consider omitting the bananas until ready to eat, as they brown quickly.
