Recipe: Fruit Salad

This past weekend many people celebrated Passover or Easter, or maybe even both! We went to my fiance’s family for Easter on Sunday and we made a delicious fruit salad that everyone loved. Today I’m going to share the recipe with you.

Although I love fruit I’ve never been a big fan of fruit salad. About a year ago I realized I didn’t like fruit salad because the only ones I’d ever tried had melon in them. I’ve learned that even if you love melon you don’t want to use it in your fruit salad. Berries, peaches, bananas, grapes, and pineapple mix well together, and tossing in a bit of Grand Marnier gives it the perfect finishing touch!

An easy and delicious fruit salad perfect for a large gathering

Ingredients

• 1 lb Strawberries, stemmed and halved
• 1 pint Blueberries
• 1 pint Blackberries
• 1 bunch Red Grapes
• 1 15-29 oz can Sliced Peaches, rinsed and drained
• 1 fresh Pineapple, sliced (or a 20 oz can sliced pineapple)
• 2 medium Bananas, sliced
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier (or to taste)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl combine all fruit

2. Stir in Grand Marnier to taste

3. Chill and serve

Recipe Notes

If you can find fruit in season I always recommend buying fresh. Peaches tend to be hard to buy ripe and they're difficult to cut, so I always recommend using canned peaches. We prefer fresh pineapple but it can be difficult to find a ripe one and if that's the case you could use canned slices if you prefer. You don't have to use Grand Marnier but it really gives the overall fruit salad the perfect finish.
