This cream cheese fruit salad recipe is packed with juicy fruits like apples and grapes, and all the components offer different colors and textures to make for added complexity. It&#8217;s a light and bright salad that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dessert and a great dish to bring to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/loved-potluck-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/loved-potluck-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">company potluck<\/a> or holiday breakfast.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Cream Cheese Fruit Salad<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Golden Delicious apples:\u00a0<\/strong>These versatile apples can do it all \u2014 good for eating, baking or sauces, the mildly sweet and tender apples play a starring role here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red Delicious apples: <\/strong>This juicy, crisp and refreshing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guide-many-common-types-apples-use\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guide-many-common-types-apples-use\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">apple variety<\/a> is great to eat raw, which makes it the perfect choice for fresh fruit salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green grapes:\u00a0<\/strong>Green grapes can be tart, juicy and sweet. We&#8217;re opting for the seedless variety in this recipe to make them easier to eat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red grapes:\u00a0<\/strong>Red grapes tend to be sweeter and less tart than green grapes and are a great way to offset those sour notes. They also offer pops of bright and bold color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pineapple:\u00a0<\/strong>Tropical, sweet and totally juicy, pineapple offers a nice and chewy texture to fruit salads like this one. It also helps add some bright and vibrant yellow color too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mandarin oranges:\u00a0<\/strong>Boasting a stronger flavor than regular oranges, mandarin oranges<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:\u00a0<\/strong>Thick, creamy and mildly-flavored, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cream-cheese-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cream-cheese-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cream cheese<\/a> makes a great base for dressings, especially in fruit-forward dishes like this one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:\u00a0<\/strong>Tangy and smooth, sour cream blends with cream cheese, mayonnaise and sugar to create a thick and refreshing dressing for this fruit salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:\u00a0<\/strong>Tangy and custard-like, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-mayonnaise\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-mayonnaise\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mayonnaise<\/a> has a mild flavor that lets it take on the flavors of whatever it&#8217;s mixed with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:\u00a0<\/strong>Sugar combines with creamy elements like cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise to create a thick and tangy dressing that nicely offsets the sweetness of the fruit in the salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Directions\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Combine the fruit and dress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, beat the dressing ingredients until smooth. Pour over the fruit, then toss gently to coat.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cream Cheese Fruit Salad Variations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add some nuts:\u00a0<\/strong>Nuts help add crunchy texture to this otherwise smooth and creamy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salad<\/a>. They also add a deeper flavor that&#8217;s savory and complex. Pecans, walnuts and almonds are all a great choice here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Store\u00a0Cream Cheese Fruit Salad<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This fruit salad is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to transfer any leftovers to a refrigerator-safe container, cover and refrigerator for two to four days.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you make company fruit salad ahead of time?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can absolutely prepare this fruit salad in advance. Although, it&#8217;s best not to dress it until you&#8217;re ready to serve. Keep the dressing separate from the salad and toss it right before you&#8217;re ready to serve in order to keep the fruit as fresh and crunchy as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cream Cheese Fruit Salad Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>How can I keep my apples from turning brown?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to prevent these cut apples from turning brown is to toss the juice from a small can of pineapple into the bowl. The juice keeps the other fruit from browning and bits of pineapple give the salad a tropical zing.<\/p>\n<h3>What fruits should I avoid in this company fruit salad?<\/h3>\n<p>This is a versatile salad so you can add a variety of fruits. However, you should avoid acidic fruits, like grapefruit or lemons or limes. Acidic fruits could cause the cream to curdle.<\/p>\n<h3>When is a good time to serve this salad?<\/h3>\n<p>This versatile salad can be served at any time of day, but it&#8217;s particularly delicious for breakfast or brunch. Fresh, fruity and refreshing, it&#8217;s a great dish to serve at a party, bridal brunch or baby shower. However, it&#8217;s also a great dish to bring into the office for a company potluck or lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We first tried a cream cheese fruit salad like this at a local deli.
