Perfect Pregnancy Fruit Salad

Marcie Jones Leave a Comment

If you’re not a fan of vegetables, fruit is the other option to get your daily fill of fiber, vitamins and folic acid. Fruit salad in the fridge means a healthy snack or side dish on hand.

Tips:

  • The key to good fruit salad is freshness. In-season fruit will always be more flavorful. Only use fruit that quickly browns (like apples and bananas) if you’ll be serving it right away.
  • Choose at least three kinds of fruit or berries with contrasting colors and textures. Pair mushier fruits like mango with firmer ones like berries.
  • Remove seeds and skin, check for brown spots, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Strawberries will leave a pink stain on lighter-colored fruit, add them at the end to keep the salad looking fresher.
  • For a more complex and sophisticated salad, try adding cucumber, avocado or herbs.
