What kind of fruits should I put to make a mayonnaise salad?
I planned to make a simple fruit salad with usign mayonnaise and other fruits. I thought of putting pineapple, green apple, honeydew and maybe strawberries.
Any idea what should I put? or is just enough already?
Answers:
Yeaps, that's enough for fruits. Maybe you can add in some boiled shrimps to even out the sweetness.My chef uncle recommended me to add some carbonated orange juice (about 2 table spoons) to the mayonnaise, and the salad turned out even better!
