Notes
To store any leftover salad, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within one to two days for optimal freshness. The fruit may become mushy as it sits, especially the bananas. Feel free to experiment with other summer fruits like watermelon, mango, or kiwi. For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.
