Wanna sweeten it up a bit? Try tossing the fruits separately in a simple syrup mixture. Or, a bit of lemon juice mixed with sugar. I find the fruits are tasty and juicy enough on their own, but this extra step may help level up your fruit salad.

If you prefer other fruits, try these substitutions:

For red: (instead of strawberries + raspberries) Chopped red delicious apples, red grapes, pitted cherries
For orange: (instead of cantaloupe) Chopped orange, clementine, mandarin slices
For yellow: (instead of pineapple) Bananas, golden kiwi, yellow apples, pears
For green: (instead of kiwi) Green grapes, Granny smith apples, pears, honeydew melon
For blue: (instead of blueberries) Concord grapes, blackberries
For purple: Plums, purple grapes
