Strawberry-Glazed Fruit Salad

This is the fruit salad people actually finish.

Fresh halved strawberries, canned pineapple chunks, and firm banana slices get gently tossed with a container of strawberry glaze that coats every piece in a sweet, shiny sauce.

The glaze is what sets it apart from a plain bowl of cut fruit. It turns simple ingredients into something that looks intentional and tastes like a proper dessert.

Chill for an hour so the flavors meld and the glaze clings to every piece, then bring it straight to the table.

Kitchen Tips

• Use firm bananas so the slices hold their shape after tossing and chilling
• Drain the pineapple chunks well so extra liquid doesn’t thin out the glaze
• Add bananas last and toss gently to keep them from getting mushy
• Toss in a handful of blueberries or kiwi slices for extra color and variety
