Notes
This salad offers a great deal of flexibility in the fruits you choose. Feel free to use more or less of any of them or to choose different colours depending on the occasion.
Optionally tossing apples and pears in lemon juice will keep them looking fresher longer. This is especially helpful if you won't be serving the salad right away.
