The fruit salads for 100 will give you shopping amounts for eother canned, fresh, or mixed fruit salads. If you are serving whole fruit, go by the piece- Texas citrus has come in it is really good this year, and cheap.

That said, the ball park info you need is on the fruit trays and platters page- you allow about 5 ounces of ready to eat fruit per person, and there is info for dips, too.
