During the increasingly hot summer days, nothing is better for a cool and delicious side dish than fruit salad. And with the abundance of fresh fruit available at the grocery store and farmer’s market right now, why not incorporate it into a light lunch or dinner?

There really isn’t much to making a fruit salad other than selecting your favorite varieties of fruit, cutting it up, and combining it in a bowl. Here’s some of my fave fruits:
- Watermelon, scooped into balls
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Peaches, peeled and sliced
- Grapes (red, white, or green), halved
- Cherries
- Apples, peeled and cut into chunks
- Pineapple, cut into chunks
- Plums, peeled and sliced
If you like a dressing on your fruit salad, try using a container of vanilla yogurt or a bit of honey thinned with the juice of a fresh lime. Amaretto and cream is another good option – particularly delish on peaches and raspberries.
It’s summer so enjoy the fresh fruit while you can!
