Notes

Use Ripe Fruit – Naturally sweet and juicy fruits make the best salads.
Cut Uniform Pieces – Makes for easy eating and a prettier presentation.
Add Banana Last – Prevents it from browning before serving.
Chill for 30 Minutes – Enhances flavor and texture.
Dry Fruit Well – Prevents excess liquid from making the salad watery.
