A Fresh Take on Fruit Salad
I know Skittles are good, but I’m thinking this has got to be the right way to get a taste of the rainbow. Isn’t fruit salad a summer must? I know it’s one of the highlights of summer for me, but I’m not talking those frozen whipped topping coated fruit salads.
This recipe shows you how to make fruit salad without (gasp!) the creamy fruit salad dressing that you’re used to seeing. This fruit salad leaves plenty of room for all the flavors of the fruit to shine without drenching it in sugar and other random flavors.
Healthy, Happy Fruit Salad
My kids love this fruit salad recipe and it is an easy way for me to get them to eat plenty of fruit. All it takes is a little honey and lime and great things can happen. For the perfect fruit salad, just make sure all of the fruit is perfectly ripe (as in, you may need to buy that pineapple a week in advance).
Save this delicious homemade fruit salad because you’ve got to make it at least once this summer. Enjoy!
This is such an abundance of goodness and it’s a great way to get your kids to eat fruit! I mean who wouldn’t love this?
