Instructions
-
Drain the Pineapples and Oranges: Begin by draining the liquid from the pineapple chunks and tidbits, as well as the mandarin oranges, ensuring you have a perfectly juicy but not soggy mix.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen strawberries, pineapple chunks, pineapple tidbits, and mandarin oranges. Gently stir to mix the fruits together, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixed fruit overnight or for several hours to enhance the flavor profile and allow the fruits to chill nicely.
-
Add Bananas Before Serving: Just before you’re ready to serve this vibrant fruit salad, slice the bananas and fold them into the mixture gently. This step prevents the bananas from browning and ensures they remain fresh and delicious.
