• You can add any number of fruits to it depending on the availability and your choice.
• Cut the fruits in different shapes like round, oval, rectangular, cuboidal etc to make the fruit salad more attractive.
• The rule of thumb is to use fruits with common texture but with different colors.
• Don’t forget to remove seeds from fruits like watermelon, apple etc.
• If you are using watermelons in the preparation, you can use the left over rind (the thick outer covering) as the serving bowl.
