You may add Blood Oranges for a vibrant and tangy, citrusy note or Red Apples for a crisp and slight tang, providing a nice contrast.
Grenadine Syrup, Sour cherry juice, and Lemon juice - These make the sweet drizzle with a tang that elevates the flavor of this fruit salad.
Serving Suggestion
Serving chilled is the way I love for the best experience. Ensure the fruits are well-chilled before serving for maximum refreshment. If you are making it ahead, you cut cut the fruits, make the drizzle, and store them in air tight containers. When needed you could mix and serve.
Storage
If you have leftovers, store it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. The fruits soaked in the special dressing tastes yum! Just serve it out straight. These are best for next day dessert.
