Frozen Fruit Salad Tips

How do I serve frozen fruit salad?

Frozen fruit salad can be served as a side dish for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Or, serve it as a refreshing light dessert after a heavy meal. It’s a tasty dish for any holiday gathering, party or potluck. Because it’s served cold, it’s ideal for warm-weather gatherings. But it’s also delightful on Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. Remember to remove it from the freezer 45 minutes before serving. Looking for a refreshing dish to serve on a hot, sticky day? Try one of these cold salads to keep both you and the kitchen cool.

What other ingredients can I add to this fruit salad?

Feel free to add any canned or frozen fruits you desire. Frozen raspberries, blueberries, mango, papaya or mixed fruit would all taste delicious. Adjust measurements if needed to accommodate any substitutions. Here are more delicious fruit salad recipes.

Is frozen fruit salad healthy?

Yes and no. This salad contains many nutrient-rich fruits that are good for you and it’s fat free. However, with one cup of added sugar, two frozen juice concentrates and the naturally occurring sugar (fructose) in the fruits themselves, there is high sugar content overall (48 grams per serving). So this is a dish that is best enjoyed on an occasional basis. Here’s a lineup of healthy fruit recipes you can alternate with this frozen version! If you’re watching your sugar intake, try one of these low-sugar desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth.
