Create a Sensational Fruit Salad with Navel Oranges

Most people have created fruit salads at one time or another either for their families or parties. However, not all of those people have taken the time to actually think about the fruits they are using in those salads. For the most part people tend to stay with those ingredients they have seen in the past: oranges or tangerines, grapefruit, grapes, cherries, and maybe pineapple. When people buy tropical fruit salads, the juice in which they are packed is usually grapefruit juice, something not everyone likes or can even tolerate for medical reasons.

Instead of using ordinary oranges or tangerines, add some navel oranges to your fruit salad. In addition you can use the sweet juice of the navel oranges thus creating a completely different flavor from what people usually expect. When you create your fruit salad using navel oranges, your guests will be consuming something they will not find when they purchase a fruit salad that is already prepared. You can even add a variety of different juices in order to create a different flavor-for instance, mix navel orange juice with some pineapple juice. There is no need to add additional sugar since navel oranges are naturally sweet and seedless.

Fruit salads do not have to be just the simple tropical fruit variety; they can also be those fruit varieties that many people serve as dessert-at least that many people think of as a dessert. Fruit salads such as Ambrosia include a variety of different fruits including orange varieties. This gives you the option of adding navel oranges which are very easy to peel and section. The fact that they are also seedless adds to the ease of serving fruit salad with navel oranges. Making your own selections for fruit salads gives a distinct advantage over pre-prepared selections you might purchase in the grocery store.

Another way to serve a sensational fruit salad is the creation of an edible delight. You can choose the fruits to include such as navel oranges and create a design based on the season or holiday of your choice. You can add fruit coloring or various colored dips in order to allow the fruit to blend in with the season. Edible delights add something different to your table, something different that you will not achieve with an ordinary bowl of fruit setting on the dining room table.
