Spring fruit salad is a fresh and colorful recipe that reflects the joy and abundance of the spring season. Its origin dates back to the European tradition of taking advantage of the first fresh fruits and vegetables after winter, combining them with crunchy ingredients to add texture and flavor. In different Latin American countries, this salad may be called "fresh seasonal salad," "fruit salad," or simply "spring salad," although its ingredients and presentations vary slightly depending on the region and the local availability of fruits.
This preparation is especially popular in countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, where combining tropical fruits with crunchy vegetables is valued, achieving a balance between sweet, sour, and salty. The fruits, besides providing freshness, add a natural touch of sweetness that contrasts very well with citrus and balsamic dressings, making this salad an ideal option for warm days or as a light side dish.
