Five (5-Ingredient) Fruit Salad Recipes
- The fruit: Each salad calls for four to five types of fruit widely available at most grocery stores. By using peak summer fruit, these salads don’t need sugary syrups or dressings — they let the fruit shine on its own.
- The extras: Each fruit salad has one little extra to make it stand out: toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for crunch, salty cheese for contrast, or the cut of the fruit.
