Get creative with this recipe! Substitute with any fruit you have on hand. If using frozen fruit, let it thaw in the fridge first and drain excess water before using.
This is a fun recipe to make with the kids. Little chefs can help with peeling and squeezing.

Fruit salad is always tasting wonderful. But there could be too much sugar. So I would recommend only using half of the ingredients.
