If she said fruit salad I would think she meant fruit salad and
not a Waldorf salad.

I would suggest some fresh pineapple, mango if you can find it,
chopped pear or apple, oranges, sliced kiwi, seedless grapes, a
few maraschino (halved) cherries for colour. Sprinkle a little
lemon juice on pear and apple pieces if used, and sprinkle
little sugar over the works to gets some juice. Add a dash of rum
or Gran Marnier unless it is a teetotalling gang.
