Quick fruit salad recipes

All the fruit salad recipes you’ll find below are pretty quick and easy. All you need to do is core, peel and chop the fruits as required. Then pour a homemade fruit salad dressing over it. You can also mix in spices, nuts, kernels and seeds. And the fruit salad is ready to serve.

Which fruits do I use?

You can make your fruit salad from any fruits. Seasonal fruits are best for this, just like for the berry iced tea or the fresh kompot. This is because they are particularly fresh, ripe, sweet, aromatic and delicious.

In summer, for example, use various berries such as strawberries, raspberries and redcurrants for your fruit salad. Citrus fruits, such as mandarins and oranges, are ideal in winter. You can use apples and bananas at any time of year.

Spice up fruit salads

You can spice up your homemade fruit salad with various ingredients. This will give it even more flavor and aroma.

Chopped nuts add a crunchy surprise to your fruit salad. These can be roasted walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts. Various seeds, such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds, are also suitable. Poppy seeds, sesame seeds and dried fruits, such as raisins, give your fruit salad a special flavor.

Spices, such as vanilla or cinnamon, also provide an irresistible aroma. You can also use fresh herbs such as mint, lemon balm and basil to add flavor.

Dressing for fruit salad

You can make a dressing for fruit salad primarily from freshly squeezed fruit juice. Citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes and oranges, are best suited for this. Mix various herbs and spices with the juice.

Natural yogurt and quark are also ideal as a dressing for fruit salad. It tastes even more delicious with a nut butter. You can also use a fruit liqueur, such as the strawberry liqueur, or a wine.

If you want to add a sweetener to the fruit salad, mix it into the dressing first.

Sweeten to taste

You can use agave syrup, maple syrup, honey or date paste to sweeten your homemade fruit salad. If the fruits you use are very ripe and sweet enough, you don’t necessarily need to add an additional sweetener.
