Modify the fall fruit salad recipe
You can modify the recipe for the fall fruit salad to suit your mood. Experiment with fruits, spices, herbs and nuts of your choice.
Select the fruits
Use any fruits that is in season in the fall for this salad. In my recipe, it’s plums, mirabelle plums, damsons, pears, figs and grapes. However, you can leave out certain fruits or add some more, similar to the tropical fruit salad recipe.
Refine with spices
You can refine the fall fruit salad with spices of your choice. Vanilla goes very well with it, as it does with the fruit salad with yogurt. You can also flavor it with a fruit liqueur.
Omit or replace nuts
I served my fall fruit salad with walnuts. They add a crunchy flavor to the juicy fruits.
Instead of walnuts, you can use chopped almonds, hazelnuts or pistachios. Roast them beforehand so that they develop their full flavor.
Alternatively, you can leave nuts out completely. Add raisins or poppy seeds to the salad instead.
Sweeten to taste
I sweetened the fall fruit salad, just like the winter fruit salad, with agave syrup. Maple syrup is also suitable. If your salad doesn’t have to be vegan, you can use honey.
Serve with yogurt
The salad also tastes delicious on yogurt. This can also be a plant-based yogurt, for example soy-based.
Cut the fruits
For the fall fruit salad, I cut the fruits into large pieces. For me, these are large wedges and half wedges. I halved the mirabelle plums and left the grapes whole. You can cut all the fruits into small cubes instead if you find the salad prettier and tastier that way.
For breakfast or dessert
The fall fruit salad is perfect for breakfast on rainy days, just like the melon and cherry fruit salad in summer. It’s a healthy start to the day. You can also serve it for dessert after a meal.
It is also ideal for snacks in between meals. You can take the salad with you on the go.
