I don't have a recipe but I mix apples, oranges, bananas %26amp; green grapes with just enough lemon juice to keep the bananas %26amp; apples from turning brown then add about a Tbsp. or 1/4 cup sugar. I like it plain but my husband likes to put Cool Whip on it.


I also use strawberries %26amp;/or kiwi sometimes.A good recipe for a fruit salad, NO JELLO in or with it?
Just chop up all your favourite fruits and mix them together in a big bowl. Easy.
I don't really have a recipe for a good basic fruit salad I sort of make it up as I go but I start with a can of good fruit cocktail and a can of pineapple chunks and usually a can of mandarin oranges but they are optional. Then I add what ever fresh fruit I have to add. Oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, cherries, peaches (could also be canned) - any fresh fruit you like. Sometimes I will add a bit of orange juice as well. You can stop there or if you like you can add any number of things to taste - coconut, pecans, walnuts, raisins, cool whip - what ever you like. It always comes out just a little different but always good.

Italian Fruit Salad





1/3 cup whole milk ricotta cheese


2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup whipping cream


3 tablespoons powdered sugar


Pinch ground cinnamon


12 ounces fresh strawberries, quartered (about 2 1/2 cups)


1/2 dry pint fresh raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)


1 tablespoon sugar


1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice


2 kiwi, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces


3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted


Stir the ricotta and 2 tablespoons of cream in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1/3 cup of cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl until semi-firm peaks form. Fold the ricotta into the whipped cream. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to stiffen and yield a creamier filling. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)


Toss the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Let stand until juices form, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add the kiwi.


Spoon the fruit mixture into 4 dessert bowls. Dollop the ricotta cream atop the fruit. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve.








This is my favorite. Enjoy
try this:





2 fresh mango flesh, cubed


2 fresh papaya flesh, cubed


6 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced

Toss all the fruit together. Drizzle honey over to taste. Add mint for garnish.
