In search of a technique to prepare squash that my children would enjoy, I developed this recipe for roasted zucchini. This one is well-liked.

I used 4 kiwi, 4 bananas, 1 pound of strawberries, not so many grapes (the bowl was almost full), and 11 ounces blueberries. I increased orange juice to1 cup, 1/8 cup more lemon juice, but kept the vanilla to 1teaspoon. Next time I will will mix up the fruit instead of layering. Good recipe
Fruit salad was great! The only problem is now that All recipes has removed their app. the website doesn’t list how many servings. This makes it very difficult to customize and don’t know how much you’re making.
Made as written. Rave reviews from all.
I loved this fruit salad! Took it to 4th of July party and it was a hit. Will make it again.
Great Summer Salad recipe! I did not use the bananas, and it was still terrific! I did not layer it as directed, just tossed! Hit of the occasion!
It was delicious, my friends loved it. The sauce the best
It was ok I just used it for my summer vacation work practical as a student I like it thanks Allrecipes.. For this amazing recipe it was yummy
I Made it .Simple and good for health. thanks
Made it as written. Was afraid I made too much but no worries it was all eaten and everyone loved it. The dressing was delicious.
Didn’t put in oranges but substituted blackberries.
I’ve made this many times, exactly as written. Delicious, and loved by all! I made a version for a work luncheon, replacing the grapes with diced apples, as a co-worker hates grapes. I think I like that even better. Also, the left-over dressing at the bottom of the bowl is GREAT with vodka. Just sayin’.
Skip the brown sugar. The juices and fruits are enough sweetness. Sugar made it overkill.
The best fruit salad recipe. My friends and family always love it!
I made this salad for Easter Brunch and it was a BIG HIT! I made enough for 12 people, and there were only 6 of us, and we ate almost all of it. I was hoping for some extra left overs but there weren’t much. I was short on time so put the sturdier fruits in the night before, and added the more tender ones the next morning. It made an impressive sight, and I got many compliments on how pretty is was. The dressing was light and enhanced it, and for me that was a surprise, as we usually eat our fruits without any added sugars. But this was so light and tasty that it enhanced and did not overwhelm. I will make this again for picnics this summer since it was so good!
Amazing! I wanted a fruit salad without it tasting like a dessert. This is PERFECT! Thank you for sharing!
Liked this fruit salad very much. The sauce blended all the fruit nicely yet you still tasted each fruit. I started layering the fruits but when I added the sauce I mixed it all up. Not sure why you need to wait 2-3 hours before serving. The bananas did get a little mushy after a couple hours out on the counter. Still had great flavor. The sauce never did thicken though I cooked it for 10+ minutes, but still tasted good. I liked the way all the fruits tasted like they belonged.
We prepared this fruit salad for a small party that we held this week. It was a huge hit and better than even we thought that it would be. Definitely worth the 5*. I tried to stick very much to the recipe for this time, with the only exception being that I added 5 kiwi fruits since that was what the container I purchased held and I didn’t want to waste the other 2. I actually thought that the 5 fruits was a perfect quantity and, after looking at it, that 3 might be a little light, to be honest. I wouldn’t change a thing, to be honest, and plan on making this again when future activities call for it. The only negative was that the blueberries that I purchased were a little more sour than I would have liked but that is no fault of the salad. Overall, two thumbs up from ourselves and everyone that we served it to.
It was great. I may change it up next time but for now, perfect.
My family loved it. Didn’t change a thing.
Excellent. Dressing was very good.
I did not make any changes. Made it exactly as the recipe called for. It was easy to make and everyone loved the taste. I will make it again
