Indulge in a refreshing symphony of flavors with our Summer Fruit Salad, a vibrant celebration of the season's bounty. This delightful salad features a medley of ripe and juicy fruits, including sweet strawberries, plump blueberries, crisp apples, and luscious pineapple, all harmoniously combined to create a symphony of textures and flavors. Drizzled with a tangy and creamy Lemon Poppyseed Yogurt Dressing, this salad offers a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity, making it a perfect side dish or a light and satisfying meal.
Accompanying this vibrant salad are two additional recipes that elevate the culinary experience. The first is a refreshing Strawberry Lemonade, a thirst-quenching beverage that captures the essence of summer. Made with fresh strawberries, zesty lemons, and a hint of sweetness, this lemonade is a perfect complement to the fruit salad, cleansing the palate and adding a burst of citrusy goodness.
The second recipe is a delectable Poppy Seed Muffins, a delightful treat that combines the nutty flavor of poppy seeds with the moist and fluffy texture of muffins. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack, and their delicate poppy seed flavor pairs wonderfully with the tangy Lemon Poppyseed Yogurt Dressing from the fruit salad.

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD
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.
