FAQ

  • Can I add other toppings?

    Yes, feel free to add toppings like toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts (such as almonds or macadamia nuts), or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • How should I store leftover fruit salad?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's best consumed within 24 hours to maintain freshness and prevent the fruit from becoming soggy.
  • Can I use frozen fruit?

    While fresh fruit is recommended for the best flavor and texture, you can use frozen fruit if necessary. Thaw the fruit completely before adding it to the salad and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture.
