fruit salad

Chopped produce blend

Fruit salad is a dish of various fresh fruits cut into pieces and mixed together, often served chilled as a dessert or side dish.

The fruits may be dressed with juice, syrup, or yogurt.

Figuratively, fruit salad can describe any colorful jumble: His chest was covered in fruit salad—military slang for an impressive display of ribbons and medals.
