Fruit salad recipes

The simplest fruit salad for breakfast is just a bowl of mixed berries.  They’re light and low-calorie, and full of nutrients and fiber that will start your day right.  Try a mix of eight ounces of strawberries, halved blueberries, halved raspberries, and two or three rings of peeled orange and grapefruit.  Drizzle the fruit with a touch of honey or agave syrup to boost the flavors, and top if off with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of seeds, like pumpkin or sesame.



The simpler fruit salad recipe is an easy side dish that you can serve with any dinner.  Slice peeled peaches and nectarines, grapefruit, mango, kiwi, pineapple, and avocado.  Top with yogurt or sour cream, then add a sprinkle of salt and cinnamon or nutmeg.  You can also mix in other fruit, like blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries.



If you’re looking for something more complicated, try a fruit salsa.  Start with semi-firm fruits as a base: papaya, pineapple, peaches, or mango.  Peel and cut them into bits and marinate for a few hours to overnight in a light vinaigrette with lime juice and fresh basil, parsley, mint, or cilantro.  Add chopped red onions and jalapenos, plus toasted pine nuts and raisins for more texture.  Finally, top with crumbled goat cheese, if you like a bit of tang.
