This is beautiful. Very yummy with a lot of juice but it is not properly food combined as per: http://www.momssoapbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/food_combining.jpg. I used mostly freshly squeezed lime juice but I didn't have enough so I used some freshly squeezed lemon juice as well. I left out the nectarines as I didn't have any and kiwis for allergy reasons. I had to use red grapes. I may make this fruit salad again with the nectarines if I'm making it for others. I hate to consume sugar if it was just for myself as we don't agree.

Delicious and a bit different from some of the other fruit salad we have. I followed the ingredients as followed except for using lemon juice (instead of the lime which I didn't have), skipping the banana and using 2 kiwi (instead of the one suggested). Thanks for sharing this delicious fruit salad which we will be having often this summer!

This was a very beautiful and delicious fruit salad. I made it yesterday as one of the desserts for a ladies lunch and everyone was delighted with it. I did everything exactly as stated in the recipe, using all the fruits except for the kiwi, which I didn't have. I used white nectarines and sliced the grapes in half. Thanks for a really good recipe!
