Fruit Salad Recipes?

I have been trying to figure out how to make a good fruit salad i have got apples, canalope, grapes, watermellon, blueberry, and strawberry not looking for the tradional fruit salad just a glaze or something. something to sweeten it up a little. any ideas?

Fruit Salad Recipes?
You could drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over your fruit. You could make a plain or flavored simple syrup. My favorite is a ginger flavored simple syrup. It takes the fruit salad from plain and ordinary to extraordinary!


1/2 cup sugar


1/4 cup water


1 inch piece ginger sliced thin


Place ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil stirring until sugar is dissolved. Turn off heat and let this mixture steep for at least 30 minutes for an intense ginger flavor. Remove ginger and pour over your fruit salad.
Reply:oh you people suck. the people that gave me thumbs down obviously have no taste and stuff their faces with peanut butter on a daily basis!!! Report It

Reply:What about adding whipped cream to all that, you could use the french vanilla, chocolate (might not taste so good with the canalope and watermelon), regular wipped cream, or strawberry. You could also add marshmellow cream on the side as a dip.
Reply:SOUR CREAM FRUIT SALAD DRESSING





1 pt. sour cream


1 tbsp. lemon juice


1 1/2 tbsp. sugar


1/2 c. miniature marshmallows


1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel





Stir sour cream and then mix in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for 1 hour to blend flavors. Excellent for fresh fruit or fruit and gelatin salads. Stir dressing well before serving.
Reply:I don't use a recipe for this, but I think you can adjust for taste.


I use about 1/2 white vinegar with 1/2 Canola oil. Add 1/2 tsp or more vanilla depending on how much liquid you are making. Add sugar to taste. Using a whisk, whisk until well blended. Add about 1 tsp poppy seeds, more or less to your liking and stir. Pour over the salad when ready to serve. This is a very light tasting dressing.





Here is a suggestion using the same ingredients for individual salads. Place romaine lettuce into a salad bowl for the bottom layer. Next, add a spoon of bow-tie pasta. Place the fruit around the edges and a sliced chicken breast in the center. Sprinkle chow mein noodles and slivered almonds over the top. Serve with the dressing over the top or on the side. I always use strawberries and mandarin oranges whenever I make it in addition to a couple of other fruits. I have used the fruits you mentioned as well as raspberries.
Reply:a delicious glaze would be sweetened condensed milk. you can a can of it at any grocery store, and just put a spoonful on top of your salad. i dont think many ppl eat it, but its ingredients are just sugar and condensed milk, simple but delicious. People don't know what they're missing.
Reply:honey and chopped mint

Reply:the easiest way to sweeten it up would be some passionfruit, or canned if not in season. you don't really need a glaze as the fruit juices should be enough. try some yoghurt or ice-cream if you think it needs it.
Reply:Slice fruit and sprinkle with sugar. Allow to set in frig for an hour. Stir gently. Serve over shortcakes, pound cake, angel food cake or ice cream with whipped cream.
