Im making a plain fruit salad that is just going to be fruit no sauce or syrup. What goes well with watermelon honey dew and musk melon?

Answer 1

With fresh fruit I find that you can use the natural juices after letting them mix or you can add to them to make a sauce. The sauce is using a (little) of mayo and Miracle Whip blended together adds a nice touch. More fruit suggestions: Grapes, apricots, bananas, and peaches would go well in a fruit salad. If you want a contrast flavor and texture, fresh grated coconut and/or sliced almonds would be a good addition, and would add a nice contrast color, as well.

You could also use use diced or wedged apples and orange wedges, as well as peaches, pineapple chunks and kiwi slices. But with certain friuts, such as bananas and apples, they need to be mixed with a bit of lemon juice to prevent turning brown before mixing them in with the rest of the fruit. It doesn't take much (just a tablespoon or two) and it won't have and adverse affect on the flavor of the fruit salad. You can use freshly squeezed lemon or lemon juice from a bottle. Or if you don't want to use lemon juice, you can use ascorbic acid, which is easily found at any grocery store.
