Cut fruit into bite-size pieces. In a large mixing bowl, mix fruit together with lemon juice, coating all pieces. The lemon juice helps retard the browning that occurs when fruit is exposed to the air. Store fruit in plastic "tofu" buckets with tight-fitting lids and refrigerate, if possible. Serve in small portions, using a small serving bowl. This salad also tastes great with granola, shredded coconut, or Ice Bean (Ice Bean is the brand name of a nondairy ice cream substitute made by Farm Foods. It is made from soybeans]. (Note: In general, try to avoid using grapes, but ifyou must, use organically grown table grapes or Concord grapes.)
