How to make a good fruit salad

Making a fruit salad is easy but there are a few things to bare in mind if you want to make a really good fruit salad!

  • Seasonal and ripe fruit: This is key! A fruit salad made with hard, flavourless pears, dry oranges and underripe bananas can ruin a fruit salad. So always go for seasonal fruit when  possible and make sure they’re ripe!
  • Remove membranes and pits: The membranes of citrus fruits can be chewy and not so pleasurable in a fruit salad. Pips can taste bitter so do your best to ensure that there’s none to be found in the salad! No one wants to have a burst of bitterness in the midst of all the lovely sweetness!
  • Acidity: Depending on what ingredients you’re using, you may need to add some acidic such as lemon juice to prevent the fruit from oxidising. Also, acidity helps to bring out flavours!
  • Herbs, seeds and nuts: Fresh herbs such as mint or basil or toasted nuts and seeds can really invigorate a fruit salad!

Follow these tips and your fruit salad will be amazing!
