You might enjoy fresh fruit with dip. It keeps longer to have the dip separate and then cut fruit as needed/wanted. Here's a collection of fruit dips. Near the end is a fruit salad dressing that can be used for a fruit salad. There's also chocolate dip and chocolate coating. About anything you might want to do with fruit.I am looking for a new fruit salad recipe to try out this Christmas, any suggestions?

Here's a simple one: Use rockmelons, watermelons, strawberries, bananas, oranges and kiwi fruit. I love this fruit salad; it's so refreshing! Oh and add a dollop of cream to it as well if you wish, full cream, lite or whatever; it's just something different and it goes real well with these particular fruits.





Happy fruit-salading!
i would select apples, satsuma mandarin oranges, red grapes, bananas, kiwi and possibly dried plums. then i would make a glaze combining orange juice, honey, dash of both cinnamon and clove... and coat my fruits with the glaze and serve with a plain yogurt topping and offer granola on the side as an added topping for those who like a little crunch
