Fruit Cocktail Salad
Fruit Cocktail Salad is a refreshing dessert to beat the summer heat. Full of color, micronutrients and hydrating fruit!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 540 ml can fruit cocktail stored in water, drained
- 4 kiwis diced
- 1 cup strawberries diced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 medium apple diced
- 1 medium peach diced
- 1 mango peeled and diced
- 3 mandarin oranges peeled
- ⅓ cup 100% orange juice
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Optional:
- 1-2 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add a drained fruit cocktail. Top with additional diced fruits including kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, apple, peach, mandarins and mango.
- Top with lemon juice, lemon zest and salt. If you are using it you may also add the honey, fresh mint and vanilla extract here.
- Toss to combine. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Notes
For minimal prep, I recommend using a produce chopped to create even sized diced fruit.
Fruit choices can be customized based on your desired preference, I recommend aiming for a total of 6 cups of additional fruit (aside from the fruit cocktail).
I do not recommend adding bananas to this salad as I find they don’t hold together as well as some other fruit options and will decrease the freshness of this salad.
You can leave the skin on the kiwi for additional fiber.
