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.

MINTY FRUIT SALAD

Summer is the season of stone fruit - juicy cherries, sweet peaches, perfect plums. Add a little mint and honey and you've got an amazing summer salad that is a turn away from the usual melon-heavy versions popular on picnic tables and at barbecues.
