Notes

Use fresh fruits for the best flavor. Ripe strawberries and fresh pineapple make a big difference. You can customize the salad by adding other fruits like bananas or mandarin oranges. For a nutty version, consider adding chopped nuts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Best enjoyed fresh.
