PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD



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.

SUMMER FRUIT SALAD WITH HONEY, LIME & BASIL DRESSING



Summer Fruit Salad With Honey, Lime & Basil Dressing image

I wanted to make a fruit salad, but needed to use the fruits currently in season (and on sale). Strawberries are the only ingredient that *just* went out of season. Try to serve this the same day it's made, as the cherries tend to turn everything red after a while.
