Ingredients
  

For the Fruit
  • 1 cup Pineapple (drained) Fresh pineapple can be used if preferred.
  • 2 medium Bananas (sliced) Toss in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • 1 cup Grapes (halved) Choose any variety based on preference.
  • 1 cup Oranges (segmented) Try blood oranges for a unique flavor twist.
  • 1 medium Apples (sliced) Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended; coat in lemon juice.
For the Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Adjust according to your taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Whisk constantly to avoid lumps.
  • 1 cup Orange Juice Can be swapped with apple or pineapple juice.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Using fresh juice is recommended.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining the can of pineapple, ensuring you reserve the juice for the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple, sliced bananas, halved grapes, segmented oranges, and sliced apples. Gently toss the fruits together until they are evenly mixed.
  2. In a medium saucepan, blend the sugar and cornstarch together. Gradually stir in the reserved pineapple juice along with the orange juice and lemon juice. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture consistently for about 2 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  3. Once the dressing has thickened, remove it from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Pour the warm dressing over the mixed fruits, ensuring all pieces receive a light coating.
  4. Cover the fruit salad with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving.
  5. Before serving, give the Healthy Brunch Fruit Salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing. Transfer it to a serving bowl.

Notes

Toss bananas and apples in lemon juice as soon as you slice them to keep the salad looking fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but for best taste, consume within 24 hours.
