Note
For a vegan version, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based alternative or omit it for a lighter, oil-based dressing.
If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot pepper sauce to your liking.
This salad is best served fresh, but you can prepare the fruit and dressing separately and combine just before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
Store any leftover dressed fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though the texture may soften slightly.
Feel free to add other fresh fruits like kiwi, strawberries, or mangoes for a more tropical twist.
For a lower-fat option, use light sour cream or reduce the amount of vegetable oil in the dressing.
