Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by draining the canned pineapple, ensuring to reserve its juice for later. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, sliced Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples, halved grapes, segmented oranges, and sliced bananas. Carefully stir the mixture, until all the colorful fruits are evenly distributed.
- In a small saucepan, mix the sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Gradually stir in the reserved pineapple juice, along with the fresh orange and lemon juice. Over medium heat, cook the mixture while stirring consistently for about 2 minutes or until it thickens and becomes a glossy dressing.
- Once the dressing has thickened, pour it over the fruit mixture in the bowl. Gently mix the fruits with the dressing, ensuring each piece is coated without crushing the fruit.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 1 hour. Allowing the salad to chill not only melds the flavors beautifully but also keeps the fruit fresh and crisp.
- Just before serving, gently toss the salad once more to redistribute the dressing. Present your colorful and refreshing Healthy Brunch Fruit Salad in a large bowl or individual cups.

Notes
Toss your apples and bananas in lemon juice immediately after slicing to keep your fruit looking fresh. Combine fruits just before serving for optimal freshness.
