Notes
For minimal prep, I recommend using a produce chopped to create even sized diced fruit.
I do not recommend adding bananas to this salad as I find they don’t hold together as well as some other fruit options and will decrease the freshness of this salad.
You can leave the skin on the kiwi for additional fiber.
