To get the best bite out of your fruit salad every time, approach it like a chopped salad, cutting fruits to sizes that blend well together.

This has been a family favorite, featuring a lively mix of tart apples, crisp celery, sweet raisins, and crunchy walnuts, making it a delightful dessert.

Freshly squeezed lemon juice packs acidity, which is the key element that will keep your next fruit salad in its prime. The acidity slows down the oxidation of the fruit as it waits to be served at your picnic or dinner party.

Overmixing a fruit salad leads to broken fruits, releases juices prematurely, and creates a soggy salad. The goal is to maintain distinct textures and appearances.

When drizzled onto or mixed into fruit salad, honey creates a light coating on the fruit pieces that slows down oxidation. This effective barrier helps lock in the fruit's natural moisture.

This vintage overnight fruit salad is creamy, adaptable, and preservative, perfect for summer gatherings as it can be prepared days in advance without browning.
