Answers:
i have a recipe for a very natural fruitsalad. you need
pineapple
mango
red papaya (yellow will do too)
grapefruit
orange
watermelon
honeydew melon
you will need for 4 person about 200g 1/2 inch cubes of each fruit. mix well together and add 1/2 cup of lemoncito (small lemons) juice to the salad. mix well and chill for at least for hours before you serve it. oranges and grapefruits should be without the white skin. no sugar is needed, because the lemoncito juice has the same effect by drawing fruit juice.....
this fruit salad is extremely refreshing with its slight sour taste, which is more than equalized by the natural frit juices.

The great thing about Fruit Salad is that you use what you like.. I always have pineapple in mine, strawberries, blueberries, cantalope, honeydew.... what ever looks and smells sweet from the supermarket. You really can't go wrong.
bet 2 packs of strawberries,1 cantoulope,i pineapple,and etc. Put sugar in it and you are good 2 go
"Fruit Salad" means different things to different people. In my house, fruit salad was always VERY fresh (like made no more than 2 hourse before the party) and consisted only of freshly cut up fruit. I make mine with watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, grapes, strawberries, all cut up into similar sizes and put into a beautiful glass bowl or punchbowl. Sometimes I will poor a little champagne over the top, makes it very tasty! I would just use whatever fruits you like and that are seasonal in your area.
My Mom makes one called Ambrosia,
2 cans Fruit cocktail
1 can Mandarin oranges
2 cups pecans (optional)
2 cups coconut (otional)
I tub cool whip, or you can whip your own whipping cream (1 pint)
Drain all of the fruit, put in a bowl with the pecans and coconut, mix in the whipped cream.
