Salad Variations
Stone Fruit: The base of this fruit salad is fresh peaches, but you can easily substitute them with any stone fruit like nectarines, plums, cherries, or even mangoes.
Herbs: If you want a twist on flavor, swap the mint for fresh basil. Both add a bright, refreshing touch to the salad.
Berries: Mix and match your favorite berries! Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries all work beautifully to add color and sweetness.
Citrus: To keep the fruits vibrant and prevent browning, toss the salad with a splash of fresh lemon juice or lime juice.
Sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter fruit salad or if you’re planning to serve it over Greek yogurt or frozen yogurt, then add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup for a light, syrupy coating.
Additional Ingredients: Feel free to add some extra texture and flavor with shredded coconut, pistachios, or cashews.
