Easy Fruit Salad

This fruit salad I make on a weekly basis and I take it in my lunch for work. This is where I get most of my fruit servings for the week.

It is very simple to make, just remember to rinse off your fruit first (if you are eating the skin).

 

Fruit Salad

 

All you need is:

cantaloupe

 red delicious  apples

granny smith apples

red or green grapes

oranges

Quarter the cantaloupe and cut off the skin.

Peel the oranges.

Core the apples.

Then, all you have to do it slice, cut, chop and cube your way through these yummy guys.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge.

A good tip for your apples to not turn brown is to cut them up first and soak them in a bowl of water and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Let it soak until you cut up the rest of your fruit. Ten drain and add to the rest of the fruit.

And I suggest that you drain the orange juice from the cut up oranges (if they are super juicy) so the juice won't completely kill the cantaloupe flavor.

I like to use two different kinds of apples for the contract in sweet and tart.

I usually use a whole cantaloupe to two apples and two oranges with a load of grapes to even out the cantaloupe to rest of fruit ratio.
