Description
A refreshing no-cook fruit salad combining watermelon, pineapple, berries, and grapes. Paper towels absorb excess juice, keeping textures crisp. Serve chilled for summer picnics or quick meals.
Ingredients
1 watermelon, cubed
1 pineapple, fresh core removed
4 cups red grapes (Thompson or red globe)
1 quart strawberries
3 cups berries (blueberries, raspberries)
1–2 paper towels (for moisture control)
Instructions
Dice watermelon into 1″ cubes and pineapple into bite-sized sections
Rinse grapes and strawberries thoroughly
Place each fruit type in individual ziplock bags
Add paper towels to watermelon and pineapple bags
Remove air from bags, seal, and refrigerate 2-48 hours
Open bags 15 minutes before serving
Transfer to a bowl and toss gently just before serving
Notes
Use seedless watermelon for cleaner presentation
Chill serving bowl in freezer 10 minutes for colder salad
Add lime juice or toasted coconut at serving for extra flavor
Avoid over-tossing to preserve delicate berries
