Modern Fruit Salad

Modern Fruit Salad

A refreshing and customizable fruit salad with a light syrup or wine dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Fresh Pineapple (Peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (For sprinkling on pineapple)
  • 2 medium Bananas (Sliced)
  • 1 pint Fresh Strawberries (Hulled and halved or quartered if large)
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar (For final sprinkle)
  • 2 medium Oranges (Peeled and segmented)
  • 1 cup Grapes (Seedless, halved)
  • 0.5 cup Wine Dressing (See recipe below)
  • 0.25 cup Dry White Wine (For Wine Dressing)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed, for Wine Dressing)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey (For Wine Dressing)

Instructions

  1. 1Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into 1/4-inch thick slices. Remove any hard centers. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
  2. 2Set the sugared pineapple slices aside in a cool place for one hour to allow the sugar to draw out some of the pineapple juice.
  3. 3While the pineapple is chilling, slice the bananas into thin rounds, hull and halve or quarter the strawberries, peel and segment the oranges, and halve the grapes.
  4. 4Drain the pineapple slices, reserving the syrup. Spread the pineapple slices on a serving dish. Arrange a circle of thin banana slices on each pineapple slice, nearly to the edge. Pile strawberries in the center.
  5. 5Pour the syrup drained from the pineapple over the fruit. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Serve immediately or chill briefly.
  6. 6Alternatively, arrange alternate layers of sliced pineapple, bananas, oranges, and grapes in a serving bowl.
  7. 7In a small bowl, whisk together the dry white wine, lemon juice, and honey until well combined.
  8. 8Pour the Wine Dressing over the layered fruit. Let stand in a cold place for one hour before serving.
