Perfect Summer Fruit Salad image

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

This fruit salad was a hit at my 4th of July party! I used fresh fruit from my local farmers market and it was so delicious. The dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
