Easier Fresh Fruit Salad

Fresh Fruit Salad (photo by Laura)

Conceived and prepared February 13, 2011 by Laura. When making a fresh fruit salad, you can increase the variety of fruits by selecting from a megamart's salad bar. Rather than buy large containers of individual fruits, select a variety in appropriate quantities from ripe fresh fruit already prepared. Save money, save time, and eat well!

Cut the fruit into smaller pieces as needed (the last two were prepared at home). Combine fruits in a serving bowl, adding 1 t of sugar for each cup of fruit mixture. Fold gently, and set aside for 1/2 hour for the syrup to form and the flavors to meld. Serve lightly chilled.
