I can make a fruit salad my entire dinner. I love pineapple, mangoes and strawberries. Of course, you can add any of your favorite fruits to the salad. Grapes would have been good too if I had them at home. The only fruit that I am not that crazy about in fruit salad are bananas. They always overpower all the other flavors, get mushy and brown. If you are crazy about bananas, then I suggest you add them in at the last moment into each person's bowl.
I simply added orange juice to keep everything well marinated and delicious. The orange juice in fruit salad reminds me of a lady that I used to babysit for in the 80's. Yes... that long ago.
She made me a bowl of fruit salad to snack on while she and her husband went out for the night and I looked after their baby. She added a lot of orange juice (seemed like half a carton of juice) and all the fruit was kind of floating around it in it. I first thought it looked weird... but it was really delicious.
So now I like to add a little orange juice to my fruit salads too. This one is for you Mrs. Robinson!
