I first made this fruit salad for my husband’s surprise party on his 73rd birthday. It’s been a hit ever since. The night before serving, I combine the oranges, pineapple, grapes and strawberries in a large plastic bag, then refrigerate until ready to serve. I also make the dressing the night before. —Lea Ann Schalk, Garfield, Arkansas
