But you can add or change fruits as you like. It can be bananas, mangoes, pears, pineapples, etc. If you use tangerines, grapefruit, oranges - be sure to remove all films so that it does not interfere with enjoying the taste of the salad.

Use brightly colored skewers instead of spoons and forks. So delicious fruit salad- a real vitamin charge for the health of your children!
