Notes
This easy five cup salad recipe can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge until you are ready to serve it. This gives it time to allow all the flavors to mingle together.
Stir the fruit together carefully as you don’t want to break the pieces of fruit up in the salad.
Don’t skip the chilling step. This salad needs time for all the flavors to blend together to make it even tastier.
