1. Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly.

2. Slice bananas, strawberries, kiwi, and apples.

3. Separate mandarin orange segments.

4. Cut grapes in half if preferred.

5. Sprinkle a little lemon juice on bananas and apples to prevent browning.

2. Make the Creamy Dressing

Yogurt Version

1. In a bowl, mix yogurt with condensed milk until smooth.

2. Adjust sweetness as needed.

Whipped Cream Version

1. Beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

2. For extra stability, fold in 2 tbsp yogurt.

3. Combine the Salad

1. Add all the prepared fruits into a large mixing bowl.

2. Pour the creamy dressing over the fruits.

3. Gently fold to coat evenly without crushing the fruit.

4. Add shredded coconut, nuts, or chia seeds if desired.

4. Chill & Serve

• Refrigerate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

• Serve cold for best taste and texture.

Tips

• Use cold fruits for a fresher, crisp result.

• Do not mix the salad too early if using bananas (add just before serving).

• You can turn this into a dessert by adding mini marshmallows.
