Prepare the fruits
Wash the prepared fruits thoroughly and use a knife to cut them as follows: Keep the apple skin on, remove the seeds and core, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them in half or into quarters. Cut the grapes in half. Peel the cantaloupe and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the banana and cut it into slices about 1cm thick. Peel the orange, separate the segments, and cut them in half. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze to extract the lemon juice.
Note: After cutting the apple and banana, you should place them in a bowl and squeeze lemon juice on top to prevent the fruits from browning before making the salad.
-
Mix the salad
Gradually add the cantaloupe, grapes, blueberries, oranges, and strawberries into a large bowl. Next, add the apple and banana (which have been marinated with lemon juice) and mix well.
Note: Use a spoon to gently toss the fruit ingredients, avoiding using too much force as they can easily be crushed.

How to Choose Fresh Bananas
- It is best to buy ripe bananas, but with some green and yellow ones. Naturally ripe bananas will have an even stem, body, and bunch.
- Choose bunches of bananas that have evenly sized fruit, yellow in color, and may have a few small brown spots.
- Avoid buying bruised bananas or those with dark spots covering more than half the fruit. Prioritize bananas that are not too large or too small to ensure quality.
How to Choose Fresh, Sweet Watermelon
- Good watermelon is round and even in shape, balanced, with the top and bottom not too different. You should also choose those with a yellow or cream-colored bottom as they are usually very sweet and fresh.
- Red, sweet watermelons often have small, dried stems. In contrast, immature ones have fresh green stems, some of which may be shriveled.
- Choose watermelons with a small belly button at the bottom because if the belly button is large, it means the rind will be thick, and the flesh will be bland; if the belly button is small, then this watermelon has a thin rind and the flesh is sweet enough.
How to choose delicious, quality strawberries
- You should choose strawberries that are round, plump, bright red, with green stems still intact.
- Quality strawberries usually have a characteristic mild fragrance, while overripe or chemically treated strawberries often lack a scent or have a very faint smell.
- Do not choose strawberries with black spots, misshapen fruits, or unusual spots on the skin, as these may be due to bruising or bacterial infection.
So, with just a few simple steps, you have 4 ways to make fruit salad that is sweet and refreshing, helping to detoxify the body. TasteVN wishes you success! And if you know any other fruit salad recipes, please leave a comment right below!
