Ingredients You’ll Need

• • 2 ripe bananas, sliced

  • 1 cup green grapes, whole or halved

  • 1 cup red grapes, whole or halved

• • 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (optional but delicious)

• 1 tablespoon honey or orange juice (optional, for natural glaze)

• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

• Step 1: Wash & Prep

  Wash all fruits thoroughly under cold water. Peel bananas and mango, then slice or dice as needed. Drain canned fruit if using.

  Step 2: Combine

  Place all the fruits into a large mixing bowl. If using honey or orange juice for a natural glaze, drizzle it over the top.

  Step 3: Toss Gently

  Using a soft spatula or spoon, gently toss everything until well mixed. Be careful not to mash the bananas.

  Step 4: Garnish & Serve

  Top with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes for a cooler experience.

  Tips & Variations

  Add strawberries or blueberries for a berry boost.
  Squeeze lemon juice over banana slices to prevent browning.
  Swap in apples or kiwi for extra crunch and color.
  Add a pinch of chopped basil or mint for a gourmet twist.

  How to Store Fresh Fruit Salad

  Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid keeping too long once bananas are added, as they brown quickly.

  To prep in advance, cut and store all fruits except bananas. Add bananas just before serving.
