Notes

Fruit Salad is at its peak freshness the day it is assembled, so it is best to serve it the same day it was prepared. You can prolong the freshness by storing in the refrigerator. This Summer Fruit Salad keeps for about 3 days in the refrigerator. Keep in mind, the longer it sits, the more juices will be released from the fruit, you will need to drain off excess juice or serve with a slotted spoon.
