Read the passage.
First, I peel and cut up the fruit. I usually like to use apples, bananas, and strawberries, but sometimes I use grapes and mango. Then I put the fruit into a large bowl and add a little lemon juice. This keeps the fruit from turning brown. I also add a little bit of honey to make the salad sweet. Lastly, I mix everything together and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour. Then the fruit salad is ready to eat!
