How do you keep fruit salad from getting soggy?

Overnight fruit salad is meant to be a little softer and refrigerating overnight helps create that texture. For other fresh fruit salads, reserving any dressings and keeping the fruits separate until ready to serve will ensure your salad isn’t soggy. By the way, Eggs Benedict Casserole is also made the night before, making it a great compliment to this old-fashioned fruit salad for a hassle-free brunch.
