Notes

Fruit Options: apples, apricots, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherries, figs, grapefruit, grapes, kiwifruit, mango, nectarines, oranges, papaya, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, pomegranates, raspberries, strawberries, tangerines, watermelon

Herb options: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh basil or parsley.

Zest: Add some freshly grated ginger, or lemon or lime zest to your salad (a little goes a long way). A Microplane grater (which has very small but sharp holes) works best for zesting. Be sure to always zest your citrus before juicing it.

Spices: Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin pie spice, or Chinese 5-spice on your fruit salad.

For a light, juicy dressing, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of orange, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, or lemon juice into your fruit salad (Meyer lemons are extra flavorful).
