Easy Strawberry Fruit Salad
- PREP 30min
- TOTAL 30min
Serve this red fruit salad for dessert with whipped cream, add to oatmeal, or enjoy as a light snack. We use strawberries as our base and then add more fruit from there. Keeping all red fruit is pretty but not 100% necessary. Use what you love! Here’s our whipped cream recipe or our dairy-free vegan whipped coconut cream.
You Will Need
2 pounds (907g) strawberries
1 pound (450g) red fruit, like raspberries, plums, or cherries
Juice from 1 medium orange, about 1/3 cup
1 tablespoon (12g) sugar
Directions
Hull and then cut strawberries in half or quarters. Cut the remaining fruit (except raspberries) into pieces about the same size as the strawberry pieces. Leave raspberries whole. If using plums or cherries, remove their pits before cutting them.
In a large bowl, gently mix the fruit, orange juice, and sugar. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently toss the fruit salad again before serving.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Leftovers: As the fruits sit with the sugar, they soften, so this strawberry and red fruit salad is best eaten the same day you make it. If you are okay with softer fruit, they are still quite delicious the next day (I love them in my everyday oatmeal). Strawberries and plums hold up better than more delicate raspberries.
