Fruit salad is a traditional dish that has accompanied family celebrations in many cultures. Originating from American home cooking, this salad has been gaining popularity in various Latin American countries, where it is adapted with local ingredients and personal touches. In Mexico, it is commonly known as "Christmas fruit salad," while in countries like Peru or Colombia, it is often incorporated into the table during the December festivities and is sometimes simply called "fresh fruit salad." This type of recipe stands out for mixing sweet and savory, resulting in a refreshing and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dessert or a side.
Currently, turkey fruit salad is a variant that combines the freshness of the fruit with the protein of the turkey, ideal for special occasions. The version we present here is affectionately known as "the first-place mom's turkey fruit salad," in honor of the recipe that has won family contests for its balanced flavor and unique texture.
