Notes

  • Fresh lime juice is much more flavorful than bottled juice so it’s worth it to use fresh limes. 
  • Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture. Avoid fruits that are overripe or underripe, as they may not taste as good or hold up well in the salad.
  • Cut and prepare your fruits ahead of time to save time on Easter day. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Berries are on the Dirty Dozen list so if your budget allows, buy organic fruit or local produce you are familiar with. Your body will thank you! 
  • Nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes can be added to give extra texture or flavor if desired. 
  • Fruit salad should be served chilled so allow time for it to sit in the fridge before serving. 
  • The Easter fruit salad can be served with homemade whipped cream, some vanilla ice cream or even as a standalone side for a light dessert option.
  • There is 1 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
