    Fruit Salad is so flavorful and refreshing!

    Fruit Salad – The pineapple and apples are tart but sweet, the grapes and bananas have a nice mellow flavor, the coconut offers a little texture, and the warmed honey with just a dash of cinnamon make this salad the perfect healthy side salad that will round out any meal, or make a great snack.

    I especially like making salads such as this one when I am planning on grilling. I love having dishes to go with grilled meats that I can make ahead of time and then I get to spend the time outdoors with my husband, Lee, when he is grilling the meat that I prepare for him.

    This is a refreshing fruit salad that combines canned pineapple, fresh apples, grapes, coconut, and honey with a dash of cinnamon.

    This salad goes especially well with my Lemon Pepper Chicken or my Honey Lime Chicken.

    This particular fruit salad recipe is also good because these fruits are available anytime of the year, so you could make this even in the winter.This is a refreshing fruit salad that combines canned pineapple, fresh apples, grapes, coconut, and honey with a dash of cinnamon.

    How to make Fruit Salad:

    Drain a 20 ounce can of pineapple, reserving the juice. Remove core from one medium or two small apples and chop into bite sized pieces. Slice one large banana.
    If small children will be eating this then cut 1/4 pound grapes in half or quarters, (if no children will be eating this you can leave the grapes whole). Mix the apples, banana, grapes, pineapples, in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons shredded coconut.
    Heat 2 tablespoons of honey in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warm. Add 1/4 cup pineapple juice and dash of cinnamon and mix well. Pour over the fruit and stir gently to coat.
    Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Instructions
     

    • Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. Remove core from apples and chop into bite sized pieces. Slice banana. Mix the apples, banana, grapes, pineapples, and coconut in a medium bowl.
    • Add the honey to a small bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warm. Add the pineapple juice and dash of cinnamon and mix well. Pour over the fruit and stir gently to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Notes

    The bananas don’t hold up well in the refrigerator for more than just a few hours, so if you plan on leaving it in the refrigerator for a while or plan on having leftovers, I would add the banana to the amount you plan on serving and then add it to the leftovers when you serve it.
    Also, if I were serving this to small children I would cut the grapes in half or quarter them because children are more likely to choke on a round object such as grapes.

      Fruit salads are always a favorite and healthier than so many other snacks. I do wish the bananas would last longer than they do when I use them.
