Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by draining a can of pineapple, saving the juice for the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple with sliced bananas, halved grapes, segmented oranges, and chopped apples. Be gentle while mixing to avoid mashing the fruit.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Gradually pour in the reserved pineapple juice along with freshly squeezed lemon juice and orange juice. Stir continuously as the mixture heats for about 2 minutes or until it thickens and becomes glossy. Let it cool completely before using.
  3. Once the dressing has cooled, pour it evenly over the mixed fruit in the bowl. Carefully toss the fruit salad to ensure every piece is coated in the citrus dressing without crushing the delicate fruits.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place the salad in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
  5. Before serving, give the Healthy Brunch Fruit Salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve it straight from the fridge for a refreshing treat.
