FRUIT SALAD

“Summertime, and the living’s easy…”

Oh wait, it’s not summer yet. It’s only April and our weather here, in Florida, is still bipolar. One day, I am singing “summertime,” and the next day, I am singing “jingle bells.”

Well, maybe it’s not quite jingle bells weather but it gets chilly at night. It’s a pain having to turn on heat at night and A/C during the day. I wish it would just stay a mild, spring weather.

Summer is when everyone likes to grill but I prefer to do it in the spring. It gets so hot in the summer, I feel like I am going to evaporate next to the grill. My parents-in-law actually got us a nice grill gazebo last year, to lower the chances of us evaporating while grilling. We like to have barbecue parties in our house, so that was a great present.

Besides tasty steaks and chicken on the grill recipes, I like to come up with side salads for outdoor parties as well. Shockingly, I don’t have many fruit salad recipes. One of my favorite fruit salads, and the one I make most of the time, is the watermelon blueberry fruit salad. Because there are SO many recipes for this fruit salad online, I never bothered posting my recipe.

In the summer, I like to make different fruit bowls for breakfast, especially if I have my favorite mango and lychee fruit, but besides the melon and watermelon-blueberry salad, I don’t make fruit salads much. The closest I come to a fruit salad is putting fruit and berries into a dinner salad, like my favorite Strawberry Balsamic Salmon Salad and a chicken salad.

This summer, I’ve set myself a goal to make more fruit and berry salads.

My first one was inspired by my husband’s love for strawberry-kiwi flavor. I thought it would make a perfect simple salad that is full of flavor but has only a few ingredients. I had no idea just how delicious it will be.

This fruit salad is bursting with a sweet, fruity flavor from ripe strawberries and kiwis and is cooled by a touch of fresh mint. This fruit salad will even make a wonderful summer dessert.

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DESSERT WITH FRUIT SALAD:

~ Let’s start by making an amazing fresh fruit and berry salad.

~ Fruit salads are great to use as a topping on a baked treat, like cakes. An Angel Cake topped with fresh fruit salad will be a great summer dessert.

~ The best way to make a fruit salad into a summer dessert, in my opinion, is by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt on top. Cool desserts are perfect for summer and you can’t go wrong with ice cream and fruit!
