Notes
Store any leftover Rainbow Fruit Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 2–3 days. If you have used the honey citrus glaze, the salad may last a bit longer, but it’s always best fresh. Be sure to inspect the fruit for any changes before serving leftovers. Choose ripe fruits for the best flavor and consider adding nuts or granola for extra crunch.
