Fresh Fruit Salad Question 2

[Im a BusyBee]

Are there better combinations of fruit for this or is it just as nice if you throw any type of fruit in?

[coco pops]

I always keep banana out until the last minute

[horsestache1]

Don't put grapefruit in or it will go sour

[ethandron]

keep strawberries out till the last minute too, if you're using them.
i always use apples, pears, clementines, bananas, honeydew melon and green and black grapes, halved.
it's one of those things you adjust to suit yourself the more times you make it.

Ours was just a juice from the fruit kind of thing � don�t think they drained it, if so not much � never creamy, so I don�t think it had whipped topping or sour cream in it � and it always had walnuts, apples and bananas in it � they always chilled it overnight.
