I simply love fruits of all kinds. The more exotic the better! Meanwhile I have become an expert on delicious fruit salads. It simply gives me such a boost of energy when I get up in the morning and eat a bowl of fruit salad.

Fruit salad has a long tradition of being used as a desert or as an appetizer all around the world. It is also called Macedonia – this word for fruit salad became popular in the 18th century I read. And there are thousands of different fruit out there that can be used to make such a delicious meal.

Rosaceae family – apples, peach, plum
Berries – blackberry, cranberry
Fruits of Asian origin – kiwi
Fruits of North American origin – cocoplum, buffaloberry
Cacti –dragon fruit
Herbaceous annuals fruits – melons, strawberries
Mediterranean and subtropical fruits – grape, citrus, avocado, peanut, olive
Tropical fruits – banana, papaya, pineapple

You see the list is endless and also the way in which you can prepare a fruit salad of these fruits has no limits. I usually just take the fruit that look nice in my local supermarket, chop them up and add a little bit of fruit juice. However, there are many different recipes for fruit salad available. Here is a page that lists a few options.
