History of the dish
A mixture of various seasonal fruits that are cut into small pieces is a fruit salad. The recipe traditionally contains apples, bananas and pears, as well as citrus fruits - orange, kiwi or tangerine. Grapes, peaches, and berries are often added for sourness and color. Dried fruits or nuts give the salad a brighter taste. Usually fruit salad is prepared without dressing, but sometimes it is decorated with brown sugar, honey or melted chocolate. For those who want to give the dish a special touch, you can use yogurt, honey, condensed milk or whipped cream as a dressing.

Cooking plan
- Let's start preparing the dish. We will prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. Usually this is all the fruit that you have in the refrigerator. In the season, for example, we really love a fruit salad with strawberries or gooseberries, in winter and autumn we definitely add citrus fruits or persimmons to the salad.
We prepare the ingredients for making fruit salad.
- The recipe for fruit salad is designed for 4-5 servings, so it is very convenient to make it for a large company. We peel the banana, peel the tangerine and peel the white thin membranes, as they will add bitterness to the salad.
We peel the banana and tangerine, remove the white bitter membranes from the tangerine.
- Wash apples and pears thoroughly and peel them from the stalk. Many people peel fruits, but I do not recommend doing this, because stone fruits have a large amount of vitamins under the skin, and you will cut them all into garbage.
We clean apples and pears from the stalks.
- In a deep bowl, cut the pear slices into large pieces. The size of the pieces of vegetables is not small, about 1.5x1.5 cm. This is necessary so that the juice does not immediately drain from the fruit.
Cut the pears into pieces about 1.5x1.5 cm and put in a deep bowl.
- We divide the tangerines into slices and cut the slices into two or three parts, depending on the size of the tangerine. We shift the chopped fruits into a bowl with pears.
Tangerines cut into pieces and put to the pears.
- Apples are also cut into pieces and put in a bowl with the rest of the fruit.
Cut the apples together with the peel into cubes of the same size as the pears.
- Cut the banana lengthwise into two parts, and then cut across into slices 0.5 cm thick. Banana is an essential ingredient for fruit salad, it gives the dish sweetness and creaminess.
Banana cut lengthwise into two parts and cut across.
- Cut canned peaches into slices, and slices into small pieces. We tear the mint leaves from the branches and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
Chop canned peaches into the same pieces as other fruits.
- We finish preparing the fruit salad. Refueling, as we noted at the very beginning, can be very different, but you can do without it. I suggest dressing from a mixture of yogurt and liquid honey, because it is not only tasty, but also healthy.
Mix yogurt itself and 2 tablespoons of liquid honey in a bowl or jar of yogurt.
- So, we are all set to serve the salad - a bowl of chopped and mixed fruit and a dressing of yogurt with honey. Prepare portioned dishes and arrange the salad on plates right before serving.
Everything is ready for a treat - chopped and mixed fruit and yogurt sauce.
- On a serving plate (it can be a bowl, a bowl or a tall glass for desserts), put 3-4 tablespoons of salad and pour 1-2 tablespoons of dressing on top.
We put a few spoons of salad on a plate and pour over yogurt dressing.
- Decorate a serving of salad with red currants and fresh mint leaves.
Red currants and mint leaves will help decorate the fruit salad and give it freshness.
- So our simple, but tasty and beautiful dessert is ready - fruit salad. Easy, right?
Bon appetit
The benefits of the dish
The perfect dessert is in front of you, and this is a fruit salad. The calorie content of lettuce, as you can see, is very low, and the amount of vitamins and minerals contained in unheated fruits can hardly be exaggerated. Serve the salad chilled, preferably immediately after preparation, because the shelf life of the dish, even in the refrigerator, is very limited.
