    Conditional formatting with multiple text values

    Let's say I have a table with rows ranking different fruits. I want to fill cells with "Apple" or "Pear" with green and cells with "Banana" or "Grape" with red. How do I use a formula in conditional formatting to accomplish this? I feel like I should be using the OR function, but I'm not sure.

    Apple Orange Banana Pear Grape
    Orange Banana Apple Pear Grape
    Banana Orange Pear Apple Grape

    Also, it's worth noting that this is a simplified version. Really, there are 20+ different text strings, so making multiple rules is very tedious.
