FAQs
How to Store The Leftovers?
It’s best to serve this 4th of July fruit salad fresh, but you can also keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Can I use Frozen Berries?
I recommend using fresh berries for this recipe. If you use frozen fruits, you will probably have mushy fruit salad because frozen berries have excess liquid and are slightly softer than fresh berries.
