This fruit salad also travels well, making it a good choice to bring along to a potluck or summer picnic. You can even scoop out a portion to pack in your work or school lunch.
The best time to make this fruit salad is when most of the fruits are fresh and in season. However, if you cannot find any of the fruits in this recipe in the fresh produce department of your grocery store, you can use frozen fruit.
