SERVES 4; MAKES ABOUT 6 CUPS
WHO can resist a fruit salad? Six cups might seem like a lot to prepare at once, but the more fruit all ready to eat, the more fruit you will eat. No time to clean and chop fruit? Pick up precut fruit or fruit from a salad bar. If you prefer to “drink your fruit,” toss them into the blender (check out our smoothie and green drink recipes, here, here, here, and here).
