Fruit salad cravings dont necessarily hit every day.
Because the right recipe can elevate fruit salad from just okay to positively divine.
Side or snack, breakfast or dessert.

Sweet and tangy, or sweet and savory, or sweet and spicy.
And justwaituntil you start adding unexpected elements, like veggies, nuts, and dressings.
In fact, what about fruit salads with a little fancy cheese?
How about something with awhole grainor a handful of fresh herbs?
Why not add CHOCOLATE OR AMARSHMALLOW TOPPING?!
and a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt.
We definitely recommend doing the whole decorative layering thing too, because it will make you feel fancy.
Cmon, of course it does.

This fruit salad doesnt skimp on the berries.
Winter Fruit and Citrus SaladfromSugar & Cloth
Fruit salad doesnt have to be only a warm-weather thing.
Mango Salad With Rhubarb Ginger DressingfromThe First Mess
Whats better than sweet, fresh, juicy mango?
And the assortment of glowing ruby-red shades somehow makes this salad feel extra special.
(And the extraproteinmeans it could totally pinch-hit for breakfast.)
No shame if youre inspired to top this one with a little paper umbrella and a few maraschino cherries.
Its just the kind of refined but satisfying showstopper you want to bring to a potluck or Thanksgiving meal.
Its a simple extra, but it packs a complex flavor punch.
With some chickpeas or shredded chicken thrown in, it could totally be fruit salad for lunch.
And topping the whole thing with chocolate chunks, toasty almonds, and shredded coconut is just…genius.
But theres no denying that its 100% mouthwatering.
And if you added some crusty bread or warm pita, it could totally be a light meal.
