Kiwi Banana Fruit Salad...

I don't know about you, but I have been craving summer salads lately. Salads that are chock full of delicious fruit. Berries, bananas, melon, pineapple, mango, kiwi, the list goes on. Delicious, sweet fruit has been on my mind lately and I wanted to share one of my favorite ways to eat that fruit as of late.

A few weeks ago I shared a picture of this fruit salad in a Family Meals on a Budget post. You guys mentioned how amazing it looked (it tasted even better), so I thought I'd share how I make it. Fruit salads make great side dishes because they can use up whatever fruit you have lingering in your fridge and they only take a few minutes to make. Oh and the fact that they are generally a crowd pleaser doesn't hurt either :)

Anytime I am going to make a fruit salad, I take stock of what is on my counter and in my fridge. I look at what needs to be used up and what I can pair well together. The good thing about fruit, is that it pretty much all goes together. It really just depends on your own personal taste.

For me I prefer to have bananas in all of my fruit salads. It is a preference of mine, so I always start with that. I then pulled out all the other fruits I wanted to include in my salad. Below I have listed what I included and the measurements. For the strawberries I used about 8. My strawberries were pretty large. You pretty much want to eye ball it. You want a colorful, rainbow salad. The more colors, the more yummy it will be. For reals :)

Kiwi Banana Fruit Salad

3 banana, sliced
5 small kiwi, sliced
2 apples, chopped
2 handfuls of blueberries
8 strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 small bunch of grapes (like it could fit in the palm of your hand)

Combine all fruit together and toss. Serve and enjoy!


Easy peasy right? I like to keep my grapes whole, but you could totally slice them in half as well. Oh and placing it in a fun dish is always a must! This vintage Pyrex dish was my grandmothers. I love thinking of all the fabulous dishes she must have served in it. I am thankful I get to carry on that tradition with my own family. :)


How do you enjoy fruit salad?
