Helpful hints
- Fruits can be substituted with any low potassium fruits of your choice. Make it colorful!
- This is my family’s favorite fruit salad recipe and a great potluck item. It’s best to eat it the same day because it can get watery overnight.
- Reduce ingredients in half to make a smaller amount.
