Nothing like a simple, fresh fruit salad with strawberries, apples, and oranges. Classic, easy, and absolutely no excuses needed to make at home.

Ingredients

Oranges – 4
Apple – 1 (Alcobaça Apple)
Green Apple – 1
Strawberries – 6

Directions

Separated one orange and cut the segments in half, make juice from the other oranges to add some to the salad.
Cut the apples into wedges and the strawberries into quarters.
Combined everything in a large bowl, mixed it all together, and that’s it, ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes & Tips: If you’re making the fruit salad ahead of time, pour the fresh orange juice over everything before storing it in the fridge. The acidity helps keep the fruit from oxidizing and turning brown, so it stays looking fresh and appetizing.

Green apples bring a nice tartness that balances the sweetness of the strawberries and oranges really well, so try not to skip them if you can help it or use another fruit with some tartness like pineapple.

Feel free to add any other fruit you have lying around, bananas, grapes, kiwi, mango, this recipe is really just a base and an excuse to use up whatever’s in your kitchen.

And honestly, this just goes to show how ridiculously easy it is to make a fruit salad. No cooking, no fancy equipment, no complicated steps. Just chop, mix, and eat. If you can hold a knife, you can make this, the only trick is taste the fruit before adding!
