Very good! I used unsulfured apricots instead of figs, grape juice instead of wine, and didn't use any sugar. It is great and the grape juice made it a pretty color. I think it is sweet enough with the bananas and the dried fruit. Reviewed for the Veg*n Recipe Swap. Thanks!

I ended up making substitutions, but was happy with the results so I am awarding five stars. I used dried apricots in place of the figs and white grape juice instead of wine. I eliminated the sugar. It was a nice fruit salad. Loved the walnuts! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Very simple and easy way to get your fruits!! I also scaled the size way down. Instead of walnuts i garnished with Crystallized Orange Nuts Crystallized Orange Nuts by PanNan. These are sweet so didn't need the sugar! thanks for a nice and different fruit salad!
