7 Fruit Salad Recipes That Are Anything but Ordinary

If you want to take your fruit salad to the next level, try these delicious recipes.

Fruit Salad with Herb Syrup

This delicious fruit salad gets extra flavor from a simple homemade sugar and herb syrup; just boil the sugar and water together for 2 minutes with some fresh herbs and then strain the syrup. After you toss the fruit with the cooled syrup, garnish the fruit salad with fresh herbs for even more flavor.

Grilled Stone Fruit Salad

Pairing fresh sweet fruit like peaches with slightly salty ricotta salata and sweet honey makes for the perfect summertime salad. Grilling the fruit before mixing the salads adds a nice smoky touch to the dish: it's the perfect dessert for outdoor entertaining.

Hot Fruit Salad

This old-fashioned fruit salad comes together in a slow cooker. It's perfect alongside roasted meat at dinnertime or on top of pound cake for dessert.

Lime Fruit Salad

A squeeze of fresh lime juice helps balance out the sweetness of the fruit in this simple salad. Top the fruit salad with buttery pine nuts for another complimentary flavor and a bit of crunch.

Refreshing Watermelon Salad

Cucumber is a commonly overlooked fruit (yes, cucumber is a fruit!) when it comes to fruit salad. Here, it's perfectly paired with sweet watermelon and salty feta cheese for a healthy and refreshing warm-weather dish.

Sangria Fruit Salad

Who doesn't love eating all of that delicious wine-soaked fruit at the bottom of the pitcher of sangria? This fruit salad takes that same concept and turns it into a deliciously sweet and boozy summertime dessert.

Strawberry Salad with Basil and Balsamic

This fruit salad is beyond beautiful — bright red strawberries are topped with vibrant green ribbons of basil and a drizzle of rich, dark balsamic vinegar. Make a double batch; this fruit salad won't last long!
