Tips for Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

How do you keep fruit salad from getting soggy?

Fruit will naturally oxidize and release more juice over time, which can make your fruit salad soggy. But the good news is that the lemon juice in this recipe will help slow that process down. If you’re making this fruit salad ahead of time, wait to add the bananas until right before you serve it so that they’re nice and fresh. Make sure to cover any leftover fruit salad tightly and store it in the refrigerator.

Does lemon juice keep fruit salad fresh?

Yes, lemon juice will typically help prevent cut fruit from turning brown quickly.

What are other healthy fruit salad recipes?

When it comes to enjoying healthier fruit salads, look for fruit salad recipes that don’t have a lot of added sugar or cream.
