Dear Kristine,
I'm making a fruit salad-- mostly mixed berries, with some grapes --do you recommend putting any kind of a dressing/topping/whatever on it? If so, what? I've tried googling, but there's too many variations.
From,

Dear Berry,
I don't really think you need anything for this kind of fruit salad. Any dressing will start to dessicate the fruit, unless you add a fat which defeats the purpose of a fruit salad, unless you're Paula Dean. I like adding some torn mint leaves and maybe some orange juice. You only really need to add a dressing to a fresh fruit salad if you were using fruit that turns brown such as apples or pears. Using an acid like orange, lemon or lime juice will prevent discoloration. Also, seasonal fruit will most likely provide all the sweetness and flavor you'll need for a great fruit salad.
