VERY BASIC FRUIT SALAD
I love how simple and refreshing this is and the ability to adjust the recipe for the types of fruits which are fresh in your local area. Allow at least 4 hours for chilling before serving. From TOH Cookbook. I like changing out the cantaloupe with fresh pineapple and/or grapefruit slices (which sometimes means a bit of sugar added to balance the tartness), or I have added blueberries also just as a topping.

Steps:
- Halve the lemon and, in a small bowl, mix with the water.
- Wash and peel the oranges, tangerine, banana, pear, and apple (if using the latter). Trim the strawberry tops. Core the pear and the apple, (if using the latter). Trim any pithy parts from the oranges and tangerine as necessary.
- Cut the apple and pear fruit into small, bite-sized chunks. Drop the chunks into the lemon water and then pick them back out, allowing any juice to drip off -- place the fruit in a medium mixing bowl.
- Cut the banana into small, bite-sized chunks and dip the chunks into the lemon water, allowing the fruit to drain off, through your fingers, before placing it in the bowl with the pear and apple fruit. Discard the lemon water.
- Cut the strawberries, the oranges, and the tangerine into small, bite-sized chunks and place directly into the bowl with the other fruit. Make sure to extract any seeds in the oranges and in the tangerine. Toss the fruit carefully.
- Cover the bowl and allow the fruit to macerate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours prior to serving.

FRESH FRUIT SALAD
I was looking for a light meal for brunch and decided to toss every type of fruit I had in the house into a yogurt-based salad for lunch. It went over well with my lunch guest who is a fussy eater. My sister actually asked for seconds. The nice thing about this is you make what you need at the time and don't have to bother with leftovers. However, it does keep well for a few days as long as it is refrigerated. Serve in individual dishes with crackers.
