Everything you need to know about this winter fruit salad

Which fruits are winter fruits?

Apples, oranges, pears, kiwi, and bananas are all in season during the winter and when combined together truly create a beautiful salad. Bananas are less acidic than the remainder of the ingredients in this salad, if you are not serving this salad immediately I would recommend adding the bananas just before serving.

How long will fruit salad last in the refrigerator?

Once prepared, this winter fruit salad should stay fresh for about 3-5 days. Make sure to store in an airtight container. As the salad sits, the fruit will macerate creating more juices. For best serving results, serve after 15 minutes after preparing.
