Please, what is your idea of a fruit salad?
Canned fruit?
Fresh fruit?
Lost of melon?
No Melon?
With a dressing?
Without dressing?
Something tasty?
Something pretty?
A little help from you and you can get a lot of help in return.

how varied fruit salad could be.. Thanks :)
Susan, here's what I thought of: (because I make these kinds)
Fresh fruit tossed with lemon juice, sugar and lemon zest.
Canned fruit (in my case sliced peaches, cut up, and standard canned fruit
salad with the pears removed (my husband doesn't like them and I indulge by
eating the pears myself hehe, and optionally some mandarin oranges, drained,
and drained crushed pineapple - I drink the juice squeezed out or use it for
some other purpose) .. I drain all fruit juice well, and toss with a mix
of... freshly-whipped cream, folded into some vanilla yogurt,
mini-marshmallows are optional.
That reminds me, I make pina coladas using the frozen Bacardi stuff but I
add canned crushed pineapple. :) And some rum (but not much).

One of my favorites is sliced bananas, green grapes and frozen sweetened
strawberries. Very easy and good.

favorite with kids because it didn't have weird "roots and berries" in
it. Might want to try it with very highly seasoned food.
Cook a box or bag of large shell macaroni, drain, rinse until cool.
Add one #10 can of fruit cocktail, drained. Drink juice before kids see
you.
Stir in a spoonful or two of mayo.
Stir in a little chopped celery or apple if you want.

Buy fruit,..wash, peel and put in bowl. Want to get extra fancy...sprinkle
chopped pecans, or coconut over top. Add some mandarin oranges and a splash of
Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.

I eat this often. No name for it. I peel and section 3 navel
oranges. I then cut the sections in half through their width
and put them in a bowl. I add "what looks to be enough"
sweetened shredded coconut and mix. Then I juice 1 more orange
and add enough juice to moisten the mixture of oranges and
coconut well. I then let it macerate in the refrigerator for a
couple of hours. I like it cold when served. Not much easier
than that. A little orange liquor added to the juice is very
nice. I tried using Malibu once and liked that too but I can't
keep Malibu in the house anymore as I have no control in it's
presence.

did the orange have enough citrus in it to keep the bananas from turning brown?
Juct curious, because it sounds realy good. I think I would add some
strawberries, too. :)

Not to me. It would have to have those little marshmallows and
sour cream in it.

This is what my mom does
Bananas: Pealed & sliced
Green & Red seedless grapes: cut in half
Apples: Pealed, Cored & Chopped
Pears: Pealed, Cored & chopped (can use canned if desired)
Pineapple Chunks: (from a can) do not use fresh!
Mixed fruit: from a can, drain & reserve juice
Maraschino Cherries: from a can/jar, cut in half, drain & reserve
juice
Mandarin Oranges: from a can, drain & reserve juice
and any other fruit you would like to add.
The reserved juices can be drained into the same container
Add cornstarch to 1/2 cup of reserved juice/s. shake in a sealed
tupperware to mix (or use a whisk). Pour in a sauce pan with more of
the reserved juice and simmer, constantly stirring until thickened.
Let cool.
Mix in with fruit once cooled. Keep any leftover reserved juice in
case you might need to thin our the thickened juice.
I know I don't have measurements. this recipe depends on how much
fruit salad you are wanting, The thickened juice should only be
enough to make a nice "coating" over all of the fruit.
My mom always makes a large batch of the fruit, using 2/3 for the
recipe above & the rest for a nice "cool whip" fruit salad.

Here's one I 'invented' recently when I came into possession of a melon
baller...
As many different types of melons as you can lay your hands on (that's
laying myself open for a Sheldon comment!) - I used Galia, Honeydew, and
Charentais <sp?>
A punnet of strawberries
A kiwi fruit
Some seedless white grapes
Maple syrup
Rosewater
Ball the melons <g>, slice the strawberries and kiwis, halve the grapes. Mix
together in a bowl, and add a teaspoonful of the maple syrup, and about a
dessertspoonful of the rosewater. Leave in the fridge until ready to eat,
then pour of any excess liquid, and serve. Simple, refreshing, and tastes
good...

I had a kind-of fruit salad at a party once. Fresh peaches, peeled and
sliced in half, soaking in red wine. Or maybe it was the sangria...?
Either way it was good good good. And you don't get much easier than
that!

Cut fresh fruits of your choice into bite size pieces. Add enough of one jar
of apricot baby food and toss to coat.
The apricot baby food helps keep the fruit from turning brown.

Forgot a few ingredients. When you thicken the juice, you don't want
to use all the juice and you want to add some lemon juice & sugar
beforehand to give it a "sweet & sour" taste. I have helped my mom
with the fruit & never really made the juice, so I kinda didn't know
about the extra ingredients (lemon & sugar). I knew about the
thickening part though :)
