My Aunt Ada (God rest her soul) made a fresh fruit salad every Thanksgiving. I'm sure it took awhile to prepare this salad as all of the seeds had to be removed from the fruit. However, it was always the most memorable dish at the table. We would literally argue over who would get the leftover fruit salad or fruit cup, as we would call it. It was great over cornflakes the next morning.

Lots of people like citrus-based salads, i.e., oranges,grapefruits, lemons and limes for a great salad. Just add some additional toppings,and you have a great addition to any family meal.

Don't forget to be a little adventurous and try some exotic fruits in your salad, like papaya, pomogranite, star fruit and kiwi, which are available in your local supermarket.
