  2. Place all the diced and sliced fruits including the apple, pear, kiwis, banana, mandarin oranges, strawberries, and seedless grapes in a large bowl. Gently mix without mashing the fruits.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruits. Toss gently to coat all the fruits evenly.
  4. Refrigerate the Fruit Chaat for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
