Can you tell I’m ready for summer? I made this spring/summer salad in celebration of warmer weather. We have had a couple of days of sunshine in a row. Also, I need to start a diet and start putting miles on my bicycle once again.
This fruit salad is very easy to make and healthy and only took a few minutes to make. I will make more of these for sure and change up the dressings. All the ingredients were purchased at Ken’s Fruit Market. I’m looking forward to shopping at the local farmers’ markets. I’m also looking forward to planting my backyard garden.
