It’s berry season! I just love summer fruits, and so do my boys. What better way to showcase our favorite fruits than a fruit salad?
This is a perfect side dish to take to a summer barbecue. The red, white and blue colors make it especially fitting for Memorial Day or 4th of July celebrations. It’s a nice, healthy change from my go-to brownies… and the kids will enjoy it just the same (well… almost!).
If you’re looking for a fun fruit salad recipe, this one is sure to be a hit!
