Title: Need a fruit salad recipe. Best one you've got
Post by: Natasha on November 19, 2012, 02:32:16 PM
We've been asked to bring fruit salad for Thanksgiving.. Fruit salad is one of those things that I eat, it's ok, but I don't really get...I'd just as soon eat each fruit on his own.

i mix all the fruit together by hand and pour the salad into a pretty glass bowl for serving

one fresh pineapple, cubed
three or four handfuls of blackberries, washed/picked over
one cantaloupe, cubed
one pint strawberries, washed/hulled and sliced
one pint blueberries, washed/picked over
half a pound cherries, pitted and sliced
seeds from one pomegranate
two navel oranges, peeled and sliced
three or four handfuls of green grapes, washed/picked over

That sounds good. Can I omit the pomegranate seeds? And I'm skeptical about how good cantaloupe would be right now.

The awesomeness of a fruit salad is very simple:
The ratio of pineapple to melon.
The greater the P and lower the M, the better the overall salad will be.

It's math- you can't argue with it!

1.  Good melon is awesome, bad melon makes me sad.

Avoided it. ;)

Most of the fruit was grapes and berries. Very little cut fruit. Lots of dipping into the bowl for snacking by everybody. (eek)
