[@Downshiftology]

Who's ready for a long weekend?! 🙋‍♀️I'm not sure if it'll be beach weather here this weekend, but I think I'll replant flowers on my patio. How are you guys enjoying the long weekend? xo - Lisa

[@zari9109]

Not enjoying it so much yet since I'm loaded up with school work but I hope you enjoy yours

[@giftysrecipes]

💕💞💞

[@suehy4054]

Cold and rainy here. I inspected my garden and am now babysitting my granddaughter. Homemade pizza tonight with a new red wine I picked up at a tasting last weekend. Rainy but peaceful. I’m very much looking forward to your cookbook. Have a great weekend!

[@randomharts]

I’m planting flowers🌸, green beans and carrots 🥕this weekend…along with the usual laundry and house cleaning👍🏻 my husband is working so can’t really take off for anywhere else! Thanks for all the delicious recipe ideas. I can’t wait for your cookbook 🥰 Have a wonderful weekend!!!

[@klimtkahlo]

Now I will give you the Portuguese secret: just add a little bit of Port wine. You will thank me later! 😜

[@wrosapfs]

i just want to thank you for changing my life. i eat completely differently ever since i started watching your videos. 40 lbs dowm and counting

[@Downshiftology]

Wow! That is incredible to hear Wilma 😊 Hope you continue to enjoy my recipes and that I can play a part in your health journey.

[@polgara28]

Amazing!

[@thebritfix]

You go girl!!

[@djshockafrica4330]

Wow Wilma, inspiring, well done!

[@magn0lia_tree655]

Congratulations, good luck with the rest of your journey. 🌸

[@luckaty]

Rather than discard the core, it great to add to a pitcher for pineapple infused water.

[@tadd8210]

Good idea, but I love eating the core..lol

[@tadd8210]

@@momsings5062 : Nice. I boil the peel, add lime, ginger, sugar (sweetener of your choice)..pineapple juice. So nice and refreshing.

[@Downshiftology]

Great idea Katy!

[@suzettecalleja3122]

I can't find the screw top jar that you keep your cut celery in, also are they stored in water? Thank you.

[@paulan5989]

My mom adds Port wine and leaves it in the fridge overnight, and then sparkling water just before serving. Delicious

[@Downshiftology]

Sounds great Paula! Thanks for sharing the idea.

[@w.mtower4895]

I never thought I needed a recipe for fruit salad until I watched this!

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy this recipe! ❤️

[@dlsdyer9071]

This is more about kitchen technique sans the three ingredient "dressing". Appreciated the cutlery use tutorial and fruit information. Thanks.🙂

[@youtubeogcreator]

My mom adds orange juice and a little bit of grenadine(sometimes only the orange juice) as the dressing and OMG!!! Delicious!!! #costaricanstyle😉

[@eileenmc1128]

Don’t throw out the core. Cut into chunks, freeze, use in smoothies. The core contains bromelain which is great for inflammation, allergies, digestion and more. 🍍 😊

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks for the tip Eileen! 😊

[@eileenmc1128]

You’re welcome! Thanks for all you do!!

[@dlsdyer9071]

Thanks for the tip.

[@Tomia36]

You took the words right out of my mouth... as I watched the video I was saying the same thing and came to the comments to share almost the exact same health benefits of consuming the core. 🍍

[@djshockafrica4330]

I eat the core, I just find it yummy, call me weird! :) Thank you for the extra nutrition information too!

[@KatTheScribe]

That is the best grape slicing tip ever! This is a great combination of fruits. Multiple colors & flavors, and no waste as you said the whole thing makes for an excellent smoothie base. Thanks Lisa! Have a great weekend.

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you had a great long weekend as well 😊

[@soniajacobs3038]

Oh, wow! This 68 year old woman just learned a lot of new tricks... and I eat assorted fruits every day! Thank you.

[@talluriashvini1569]

Today is the first time watching your channel so good and very well explained good recipes.

[@r0uge7]

I love to add walnuts or sliced almonds for a little crunch

[@gerardacronin334]

I love a fresh fruit salad. I’ve made rainbow salads too, but have layered them vertically. They are always a hit!

[@Downshiftology]

That's also a great idea for a beautiful presentation 😊

[@carebearcares4139]

Wow, taste the rainbow 🌈 😋 😍 Perfect for Sunday brunch.

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely! Perfect for all weekend festivities 😉

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

I’m ready to bring this to my Memorial Day picnic- simply fabulous!!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Hope everyone enjoys this fruit salad! 😊

[@keithdavidson4723]

What a wonderful trick...using two lids to slice lots of fruits. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you learned something new here! 😊

[@gjorgigjorgiev6008]

This is amazing !!!!!!. I always have ,every single night a bowl of kiwies,peaches,pineapples and apple mixed up ....The best dinner!!!

[@Downshiftology]

A fruit combo always wins 😊

[@doraankova887]

I love fruit salads! I also add fresh mint leaves, incredibly refreshing!

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely!

[@neesargon3497]

I like to add a diced apple for a little blt of crunch.

[@djshockafrica4330]

This is giving me more ideas :) You can add mint to your dressing, you can try persimmons for a fruit with extra sweetness, you can add berry juice for a healthy punch, or prosecco for a fruity sangria!

[@Downshiftology]

Yes! Mint will be a great addition to this 😊

[@namotenashi]

When I look at it, the drool doesn't stop. Very refreshing and natural sweetness and freshness are perfect for refreshing! On hot days, you can chill it and add mint. Thank you for sharing.

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy this one, and yes, mint is a great option 😊

[@anitas5817]

The grape slicing trick!!!😳. This is perfect - I’m hosting my Bookclub tomorrow and was planning on fresh fruit so this will make it better !! 😊 Ed: I did make this and it’s amazing what the addition of that dressing does! You don’t really taste it - it just makes it taste like the best fruit salad ever!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Hope everyone enjoyed this fruit salad at your book club Anita 😊

[@anitas5817]

Everyone loved it!!!

[@evafletcher76]

Among us code?

[@debrahurtado5491]

Oooh!! I like how you arranged the fruit in a diagonal!! Beautiful rainbow through the glass bowl...

[@AquaGolds]

I love fruit salad so much, all fruits i love.

[@sallykasper61]

What a beautiful presentation. I loved it.

[@ExactRealism]

Thank you for the grape cutting hack! How clever

[@Downshiftology]

It definitely makes it easier to cut multiple grapes!

[@liaquinlan52]

WOW! This fruit salad looks great! I love the honey lime drizzle as well!

[@Downshiftology]

The honey lime dressing really makes all the difference!

[@nicholasrooksby3327]

Fruit Salad Yummy yummy!

[@Jean-ni6of]

It is beautiful. Makes my mouth water.

[@lindac7146]

Beautiful salad. Enjoyed seeing your cutting grapes hack. Certainly faster than the one at a time method I always use. Thanks.

[@Downshiftology]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariavargas655]

Hola deliciosa 😋ensalada de frutas 🍇🥭🍓bendiciones 🙏🏼

[@merci1950]

🐇Yummy! This is so perfect! And I just bought a new beautiful serving bowl. Was wondering what my first dish should be, to put in it, perfect timing. Thank you❣️

[@Downshiftology]

What perfect timing! This fruit salad will be a great way to use it 😊

[@Lisa-yg9tn]

Wow, the grapes trick is mind blowing 🤯

[@Downshiftology]

Something new I learned as well! 😉

[@normacabrera9686]

Garcia's por compartir!😍🥰❤ me encanta la fruta 🍇🍍🍓🥝🍋🍃🍂

[@amarJourneys]

Translation: thank u for sharing ~ I'm enchanted by fruit

[@normacabrera9686]

marshall a bueno GARCIAS 🍇🍍🍓🥝🍋🍷🍃

[@denbrick2]

ABSOLUTELY ... 100 TRILLION PERCENT ... AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION... FOR ANY OCCASION... 👏 👍 👍 👍 😊

[@Bobbcee]

The pineapple core is my favourite 😀

[@WayToVibe]

Put the core in smoothies or juice it. Throwing it away is a waste. You can also freeze it, partially thaw it, sprinkle it with sugar, and it makes for an amazing summer treat. It's perfectly edible and when frozen then thawed it's way softer and just as flavorful.

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks for the heads up! 😊

[@anitadunphy7837]

I never seem to be able to get great strawberries. That salad looks delicious.

[@mrs.z1172]

I was making the mistake to add mushy fruits, no more ❤️

[@Downshiftology]

Oh no! Right now should be better since it's berry season 😊

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

Ambrosia salad is my all time favorite!

[@eevasworld1094]

Wow I love how neatly you prep all the ingredients and those are very healthy and refreshing 😋

[@leenamadye1749]

Delicious! Will definitely try as per the availability of fruits in India.

[@eevasworld1094]

Those colors are tempting

[@Downshiftology]

Can't beat a bowl of bright, colorful fruits 😊

[@larissa6417]

My mom always adds cucumber and fresh mint to fruit salad and it makes it wonderfully fresh on a hot summer's day.

[@giftysrecipes]

I Love fruits salad 🥰🥰🥰

[@Downshiftology]

You and I both! 😊

[@sandrap3047]

I made that same fruit salad dressing before. It’s so good!

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Yes, the core makes for great smoothies. Pineapples are good for healthy gums and speedy healing. I also freeze strawberry tops for smoothies. Smoothies are a good way to use the entire fruit (veggie).

[@Joy-W777]

Love your videos! I’m going to make this for a small Christmas gathering for a healthier dessert option! Merry Christmas!

[@Downshiftology]

Happy holidays!

[@mahamohy4018]

[@jenna_thorson]

I made this tonight for a BBQ, it was a hit!! So delicious! Thank you Lisa!

[@7HDNews]

I love this video, thank you very much

[@lilcummy]

it's also really nice to just add a fruit juice to it like apple or tropical fruit juice. It keeps the fruit from browning too

[@foodmenuvlogs7385]

Wow superb and healthy 👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@rolansanchez7046]

I subscribed to your channel because your recipes are so easy to make. Mangoes we have in the Philippines are so yellow and sweet.

[@judymarkel8029]

Oh my, all that delicious fruit. That could be breakfast for a week. Mmmmm Thanks for the yummy recipe

[@Downshiftology]

Enjoy Judy! 😊

[@bfields8943]

Growing up we would have fruit salads mixed with peach pie filling, but that honey lime dressing sounds amazing in the salad. Making that dressing this week with my fruit salad.

[@Downshiftology]

You're going to love this honey lime dressing! Hope you enjoy it 😊

[@adannaskitchen]

😍😍😍

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Nailed it! 👍 Great video 😊

[@SimplyMaria23]

Yummy! Thank you💕

[@Downshiftology]

Of course! Enjoy ❤️

[@olayinapa]

Yummy 😋 (as usual) love the trick of the grapes! I use lemon and a bit of sugar but I will try with lime and honey. But mango... I will use banana (one of my favorite fruit) Greetings from Spain Lisa.

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy this fruit salad with banana! Just keep an eye on it as bananas will brown fast.

[@olayinapa]

@@Downshiftology about the bananas that's why I use the lemon and sometimes orange for the dressings. The idea is to add the bananas the last, just before the lime/juice. I will try the recipe (with the lime as soon as possible) I am a teacher and I finish today. Greetings from Spain.

[@roksannastephens4375]

Wow, awesome! Thank you!

[@thebritfix]

I truly regret not living in California........in the next door unit.. Lol. Been watching for years and I’m still amazed at how delicious everything looks, yum!! Will be making this this week

[@Downshiftology]

You're so sweet! Good thing all my recipes are easy to make right at home 😊 Hopefully within the next few years, I can meet some Downshifters in real life!

[@JesusmyLord77]

I could so go for a big bowl of that fruit salad 🍌🍊🍇🍓🥝🍍🥭 great tip on how to cut grapes.

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy this recipe Anna! 😊

[@1stepcl0ser]

"it just means you have a loose leaf" haha

[@bradyvelvet9432]

Perfect for this summer! And healthy! ❤️💕 😄 Got to try that dressing!

[@Downshiftology]

Definitely the perfect summer salad 😊

[@lisawallace3124]

We lived in Hawaii for a few years and the best, ripest pineapples are the ones that are the most yellow/golden. Green pineapples will be sour, almost to the point of being bitter! Bring it home and yes, tip it over upside down overnight or at least as long as you can before peeling & slicing. Don't discard that core! Boil it in some water (with or without sugar) and add that "pineapple simple syrup" to ice tea, or use it like I do and home can that pineapple!

[@sofiakhan7389]

It is looking amazing. I will try ❤❤🇳🇵

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy Sofia!

[@priyankapinky6598]

Wow, the grape slicing trick😳😳😳 Why didn't I think of it before!!

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you learned something new Priyanka! 😊

[@awquerida7602]

I cut the leaves off of the pineapple, turn it upside down & let it sit on my kitchen counter until it's fragrant. This takes a few days. Then I peel and slice it. I learned this tip in Hawaii.

[@cherylmarie3662]

Great tip, thanks!

[@Downshiftology]

Great idea - thanks!

[@antenmeasfamily]

Wow very yummy 😋🤤😋 everytime lovely
