You could use any fruit you like. Mix and match depending on what you have at hand or the seasonal availability of produce. But the combination of the fruit in this salad is one of my favorites.
Cotton Candy Grapes®
This dish’s standout “star” is the addition of Cotton Candy® grapes. These newer, super sweet grapes deliver a distinctive flavor that will evoke memories. Unfortunately, they’re only available for a limited time (mid-August through mid-September), so be sure to get them while you can. The rest of the ingredients in this salad are just as delicious and include fresh berries, mango, and kiwi. The combination of flavors is heavenly, and it’s sure to become a new favorite.
Cotton Candy® grapes may not be available at your local supermarket or farmers’ market. In that case, using any green grapes will also result in a fantastic fruit salad.
Cotton Candy® grapes are not genetically modified food. Instead, their unique taste results from selective natural cross-breeding practices conducted over many years. This new variety of grapes, which tastes like spun cotton candy, is a hybrid between the common grape and a type of Concord grape. Unlike cotton candy, though, they aren’t packed with sugar and calories.

Make-Ahead
This recipe can be made ahead of time.
For the best presentation, do not add the strawberries to the salad until just before serving. Otherwise, the lighter-colored fruits will get stained by the bright red color of the berries.
Also, to prevent browning, slice and add kiwi to the bowl just before serving.
