2. Mixed Fruit Salad

Throw in all types of fruits available around and add lots of chaat masala to the same. You can also add some soaked sabudana. Add a dollop of maple syrup or chocolate sauce if the taste suits your tongue. This salad tastes even better if you put in some berries as well.

3. Nuts And Fruit Salad

Take fruit chunks of soft texture and add some roasted nuts to it. Pine nuts and walnuts work best here. Put in some papaya, sapodilla and banana. Make sure not to let this salad lie around for a long time after you make it. The salad tastes the best when it’s fresh.

4. Custard And Fruit Salad

If you have some leftover custard, garnish a fresh bowl of fruits with the same. Add a dash of honey and see how magical the salad gets, the custard here is just the topping and not the main part of the dish. Keep the fruits bite-sized and go in for berries and softer fruits. Combine a variation of sweet and sour tastes among fruits you choose.

5. Salad With Whipped Cream

Got some cherries or other berries that are frozen? Assemble these and add freshly whipped cream on top. Add chocolate flakes, some icing sugar on the go as well. Your freshly whipped salad is all set to cool you down like you never thought.

Fruits are a great way to stay hydrated while ensuring that you are eating healthy during summers. You can never go wrong with a healthy bowl of fruit salad done right!
